Reviews
"This is the best introductory survey of cultural theories I have read." -- Christian Smith, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill"I cannot conceive of a better introduction to a century of cultural theory. Smith gives cultural theory life and brings it down to earth, where it belongs." Barry Schwartz, University of Georgia"Philip Smith has written the Zagat guide not just to sociology of culture and cultural sociology, but of cultural theory in the grandest sense. This will be a great introduction for students and a cheat sheet for more than a few professors. Bravo!" Roger Friedland, University of California at Santa Barbara"This engaging book deftly maps the important theoretical traditions in the field of cultural analysis, with special attention to the leading thinkers. Philip Smith's lucid writing and comprehensive scope will be of great value to students and scholars as they seek to orient themselves in the field and identify the major concepts." Robin Wagner-Pacifici, Swarthmore College"Being a remarkable practitioner in the domain of cultural theory, Philip Smith adopts a powerful stance in his far-reaching approach of the genealogy of this domain." Laurent Thvenot, Ecole des Hautes Etudes, Paris"..Smith has produced a very useful and informative introduction to a broad variety of theories and culture" Choice, "This is the best introductory survey of cultural theories I have read." -- Christian Smith, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill "I cannot conceive of a better introduction to a century of cultural theory.
