Highlights
The Context Reader features articles that are as accessible as a popular paperback, but as brief as a journal article.
Designed for readers who are not trained as sociologists but are intrigued by current social events and policy or are captivated by fresh perspectives on society, Contexts magazine features articles on topics ranging from religion and discrimination to pop culture and foreign crises. Prominent sociologists contribute articles that synthesize their cutting-edge research into brief essays that are accessible and free of specialized language. The work collected in The Context Reader challenges outdated ideas, provokes creative thinking, and stimulates lively debate.
New Study Questions for every reading.
In addition to the original head notes and suggested readings, The Contexts Reader also features three to four questions accompanying each essay, varying from basic reading comprehension questions to more involved, reflective assignments.
