Description

Chicago Sociology by Jean-Michel Chapoulie provides a unique perspective on the history of social science in the twentieth century. Drawing on deep archival research and interviews, this groundbreaking study interrogates the evidence with a historian's eye to understand the complex factors that shaped the Chicago tradition of sociology. The book offers a fine-grained and panoramic portrait of the interlocking elements that gave rise to the research interests and methodologies of the Chicago school in the 1920s. This revised edition, now available for the first time in English, sheds new light on the development and influence of this influential approach to social science. A foreword by William Kornblum provides context and addresses recent critical challenges to the Chicago school and its origins, making this book an essential read for anyone interested in the history of sociology.
