The Poor, Always With Us, Charles Lemert
Charles C Lemert
The voices of famous and lesser known figures in America's quest to reduce poverty are collected for the first time in this comprehensive historical anthology.

Poetry And Public Life, Charles Lemert
Charles C Lemert
The public life is one entered more by the patience of the poetic ear than by the sharpness of the pen or the truth of the facts.
Dark Thoughts: Race And The Eclipse Of Society, Charles Lemert
Dark Thoughts: Race And The Eclipse Of Society, Charles Lemert
Charles C Lemert
In Dark Thoughts prominent sociologist Charles Lemert compellingly argues that race is the central feature of modern culture; this was true for the twentieth century and it will be true for the twenty-first. If we want to understand how the world works, Lemert explains, we must understand the centrality of race in our lives and in the foundation of our society. We must also be able to face up to what we've done to one another in the name of race. In his characteristically engaging prose, the book tells of the important moments of the twentieth century through the writings …

The Clothes Have No Emperor: Bourdieu On American Imperialism, Charles Lemert
The Clothes Have No Emperor: Bourdieu On American Imperialism, Charles Lemert
Charles C Lemert
`The Clothes Have No Emperor' (a title borrowed from Paul Slansky's hilarious critique of the Reagan years in the USA) means to say that Bourdieu's criticism of American imperialism is an understandable slip of his brilliant visual sociology. He writes to those of a disposition to agree completely because they know the facts all the better. Bourdieu may well be the only person alive today who has so perfectly combined theoretical, empirical and political work. Why then has he allowed this critique to be published for all the world to see? Not, I think, because he is wrong, but because …

The Goffman Reader, Erving Goffman
The Goffman Reader, Erving Goffman
Charles C Lemert
The Goffman Reader aims to bring the most complete collection of Erving Goffman's (1922-1982) writing and thinking as a sociologist. Among the most inventive, unique and individualistic of thinkers in American sociology, his works first appeared in the early 1950's at a time when a more formal, traditional sociology dominated the scene. In this collection, Goffman's work is arranged into four categories: the production of self, the confined self, the nature of social life, and the framing of experience. Through this arrangement, readers will not only be presented with Goffman's thinking in chronological order, but also with a framework of …
