New to This Edition- Chapter 15. "Cultural Capital, Revolution, and the World System: The Theories of Pierre Bourdieu, Theda Skocpol, and Immanuel Wallerstein"
In this chapter the authors have reorganized material from the last two chapters of the sixth edition into a new chapter examining the contributions of some of the most famous social theorists in the areas of social inequality and social change. - Chapter 16. "From the Code of the Street to the Social Structure of Right and Wrong: The Sociology of Elijah Anderson and Donald Black"
In this all-new chapter, the authors discuss some of the most exciting developments in sociological thinking about race, conflict, and crime. Elijah Anderson takes us inside the code of the street, where we find that the postures of violence in the most dangerous part of the black poverty ghetto do not mean quite what they seem to an outsider. Donald Black gives us a wide, comparative view of all the ways in which people deal with conflict, and he shows us that these are organized around social structures that produce different kinds of feelings about right and wrong.
