Description
"A hundred short essays invite us to think about society-and social theory-in new ways. Riley analyses the intellectual situation, the political crisis of Trump's last months in office, and love and illness in a period when both were fraught with the public emergency of the coronavirus. He delves into Weber and Durkheim, Parsons and Dubois, Gramsci and Luka?cs, MacKinnon and Fraser, to weigh sociology's relationship to Marxism and the operations of class, race, and gender, alongside show more discursions into the workings of an orchestra and the complicatedness of taking a walk in a pandemic"-- show lessTags
