Reviews
""The second edition of Power and Everyday Practices is a crucial addition to writing on everyday life and social power in the best tradition of C. Wright Mills's The Sociological Imagination. It provides crucial tools for developing critical thinking skills and for reversing the gaze so that we centre our critical analysis not on the oppressed as social problems but instead on the social organization of power in the centre, including normality, whiteness, settler colonialism, heterosexuality, and more. This book covers diverse terrains of struggle and is a crucial text not only for students in the classroom but also for activists in their communities."" --Gary Kinsman, author of The Regulation of Desire, co-author of The Canadian War on Queers, and professor emeritus, Department of Sociology, Laurentian University ""This book makes evident the value of the sociological imagination in a world that is both banal and tumultuous. Power and Everyday Practices is an exceptionally coherent, engaging collection that invites students to take up key conceptual tools for making sense of and intervening in the power relations that shape their identities and their experiences. It offers a sociology that is not just about but for everyday life."" --Mary Louise Adams, Department of Sociology, Queen's University
