Book Information


Designed to give a cross-cultural edge to introductory sociology, Global Sociology introduces readers to basic sociological concepts-culture, social structure, socialization and deviance, social institutions, stratification, and social change-through an integrated and comprehensive exploration of five societies. Written to complement the standard introductory course and text organization, this book easily integrates cross-cultural sociology into the classroom. The book provides the foundation for comparative analysis through vivid, descriptive, and highly engaging coverage of Mexico, Japan, Egypt, Germany, and the !Kung Bushmen of southern Africa, but allows students to do the actual comparing and contrasting of different cultures by applying core sociological concepts and terminology learned throughout their coursework. The second edition has been fully updated to reflect recent political and economic change, particularly in chapters on Japan, Mexico, and Egypt. New and updated data is included in
