Overview


This book offers an exciting new approach to introductory sociology. It is the first text to encourage students to examine themselves as individuals before embarking on the study of community, nation, and the global processes that have influenced society. The book draws primarily on Australian examples.

Synopsis

From the title, one cannot guess that these 26 essays by social scientists affiliated with La Trobe U. explore questions of Australian identity. The contributors pursue answers at the social self, community, and global levels, after the editors overview what sociology has to offer. The final paper explains what sociologists do. Includes the preface to the 1996 edition. Annotation c. Book News, Inc.,Portland, OR
