This collection of recent essays by the influential sociologist Herbert J. Gans brings
together the many themes of Gans's wide-ranging career to make the case for a policy-oriented
vision for sociology. Sociology and Social Policy presents a range of studies from
across Gans's areas of interest--the city, poverty, ethnicity, employment and political
economy, and the relationship between race and class--that together make a powerful
call to action."--Page 4 of cover
