"Muckraking in the early 1990's was a blend of irreverent, scholarly journalism and moral indignation. . . . [Those] ingredients and more are present in this collection of 16 articles that Gary Marx has issued as a contemporary variant. . . . [Now] another turbulent period in American society is being exposed. Only this time the writers are not journalists . . . but sociologists, lawyers, economists and political scientists. . . . Marx's collection . . . represent[s] the institutionalization of moral reform. . . . Sociologists can start with the stimulus provided by Marx's collection toward the making of critical research a major enterprise. . . . These significant studies . . . have the great potential for generating social change by a multiplier effect on researchers, teachers, and students who constitute a vast reservoir for action. I recommend it . . . to those of us who are still susceptible to instruction." --Hyman A. Enzer, Contemporary Sociology No library descriptions found. |
