520 |a "Contested Knowledge tracks the work of major figures in the field, from the classical sociologists - Durkheim, Marx, and Weber - to contemporary theorists Giddens, Foucault, Bourdieu, and Judith Butler. By exploring contemporary social theories and movements including feminism, post-structuralism, African-American thought, and queer theory the author provides a compelling took at sociological theory and its established canon. Contested Knowledge combines social analysis and moral advocacy, showing how social theory can and does - and sometimes doesn't - work within the public and political sphere."--BOOK JACKET.
