Description

Welcome to Social Theory by Tom Brock provides a clear and engaging introduction to social theory, using images, examples, and quotations to explore contemporary social life. This comprehensive guide covers major theoretical traditions from Marxism to poststructuralism, feminism to postcolonial theory, new materialism to posthumanism.

The book carefully appraises classical ideas and debates in social theory, examining their impact through discussions of prominent theorists such as Michel Foucault, Pierre Bourdieu, and Judith Butler. It also explores relevant examples from the gig economy, everyday sexism, digital black feminism, animal and environmental activism, stigma and discrimination against migrants, and more.

Dr. Tom Brock is a Senior Lecturer of Sociology at Manchester Metropolitan University, making this an indispensable text for undergraduate students new to social theory.
