Sociology of Culture

For the last 40 years, American sociology has been transformed from the inside by the rapid growth of the study of culture, which includes both the study of meaning-making, identity, myths, and narratives and the study of cultural institutions and cultural production, diffusion, and reception. The purpose of the book is to encourage the development of this perspective through the organized interchange of ideas and research. It provides a comprehensive overview of contemporary scholarship in sociology and related disciplines focused on the complex relations of culture to social structures and everyday life.
