Devereaux Kennedy does a fantastic and thorough job of presenting
construction of theoretical perspectives. The theorizing process is
complex, but the author allows the reader to understand its
sophistication in simplistic and relevant terms." —Dr. Kim
MacInnis, Professor of Sociology, Bridgewater State University
"Kennedy enables students to understand and evaluate the connection
between the world of academic social science and the work of public
intellectuals. Equally important, he give students the tools they
need to engage in their own theoretical enterprises." —Dr. Robert
Cadigan, Associate Professor Emeritus of Applied Social Sciences,
Boston University
"Application of theory is an underdeveloped area in the curriculum
of teaching social theory. This text provides a solid source that
introduces students to this all-important skill." —Dr. Erin
Robinson, Professor of Sociology, Canisius College
"Kennedy's is an accessible and rich text for social theory,
drawing on some of the best contemporary research to illustrate
theory construction." —Dr. Michael Plekon, Professor of Sociology,
Baruch College, CUNY
