Abstract
Beginning with an overview of society in the '60s, this book provides an important reflection on a period worthy of contemporary reflection. The 1960s saw pioneering changes in the realms of international politics, science, culture and art.
Turning this historical lens onto the study of sociology, The Sociological Inheritance of the 1960s reveals both the continuities and the departures the field has seen in its core principles and approaches over the past several decades. Inspiring an enriched understanding of a legacy still deeply relevant to current issues and concerns across the field, The Sociological Inheritance of the 1960s proves that, despite the half a century that has since passed, we still have much to learn from this rich period of sociological development.
