Reviews

""Social theory occupies a central role in today’s debates in such sociologyrelated disciplines as anthropology, political theory, political economy, media and cultural studies, feminist theory, and post-colonial studies. Heading a large team of international scholars, Harrington introduces some 500 entries by noting that the Encyclopedia’s emphasis is on concepts, themes, debates, and schools of thought rather than on personalities. Signed entries ranging from about 300 to 2,500 words cover connotations of “action” to contemporary Slovenian theorist Zizek, Slavoj. They include references, cross-references, and further reading. The detailed index facilitates searches."" --Reference 7& Research Book News
