Sociology For Optimists Av Mary Holmes

Breaking away from the idea that sociology only ever elaborates the negative, <strong>Sociology for Optimists</strong> shows that sociology can provide hope in dealing with social issues through critical approaches that acknowledge the positive. <br/><br/>From politics and inequality to nature and faith, Mary Holmes shows how a critical and optimistic sociology can help us think about and understand human experience not just in terms of social problems, but in terms of a human capacity to respond to those problems and strive for social change. <br/><br/>With contemporary case studies throughout grounding the theory in the real world, this is the perfect companion/antidote to studying sociology.  <br/><br/><br/>
