Park and Burgess's Sociology : Creation, Evolution and Legacy (2023. 238 S. 1 Abb. 210 mm)

This volume explores the enduring influence of Introduction to the Science of Sociology, published a century ago by Robert Park and Ernest Burgess. It brings together scholars from the United States, Canada, and Italy, who collectively demonstrate the work’s enduring relevance and its important role in the dialogue between European and American sociology. The contributors examine topics raised in the original text that remain as relevant as ever, including segregation, the concept of assimilation and the marginal man, subcultures, constructive isolation, collective behavior, the German roots of the Chicago School, socio-spatial evolution over time, fashion and metropolis, and social creativity from the ecological school to the digital challenge.
