Reviews

This judicious selection from the classics overcomes the conventional, but misleading division between individual and society through a sociological social psychology. The volume provides a clear and definitive answer to the basic question: How do individuals and society relate? As an excellent introduction to the study of society through the dual traditions of symbolic interactionism, and personality and social structure, Self, Symbols, and Society uniquely combines selections from Europe and America to provide the student with an appreciation of the scope and depth of sociology and social psychology. A singular achievement.--Brian Turner
