      abstract = {This thorough collection of contemporary sociological  theory is the definitive guide to current perspectives and  approaches in the field. Organized by theme, the volume  includes the most representative material available on  topics such as symbolic interactionism, phenomenology,  structuralism, network theory, critical theory, feminist  theory, and the current debates over modernity and  postmodernity. The theories of Foucault, Giddens, and  Bourdieu also appear in longer sections, enabling students  and scholars to examine the work in greater depth.  Editorial introductions put these readings into theoretical  perspective, making this an authoritative and compact  survey of contemporary sociological theory. This book, in  conjunction with its complement, Classical Sociological  Theory, offers readers a complete overview of sociological  theory.},
