American sociology :from pre-disciplinary to post-normal /Stephen Turner. - 1 online resource. - Sociology transformed. - Sociology transformed..

Pre-academic Reformism and the Conflict between Advocacy and Objectivity Until 1920 -- The Revolution of the Twenties and the Interwar Years -- The Postwar Boom -- The Crisis of the Seventies and Its Long-Term Consequences -- The Near Death Experience and Its Consequences -- Feminization, the New University Environment, and the Quest for a Sociology for People -- The Elite and its Power -- Activism, Professionalism, or Condominium?.

American Sociology has changed radically since 1945, when the field was dominated by young lions attempting to make sociology a science. The 1968 student revolt ended much of this, leaving sociology divided and directionless. By the 1980s, enrolments had fallen and departments were closing. But sociology revived, and at both the graduate and undergraduate level the field became dominated by women. What changed and what didn't, and why? Areas of interest, methodology, and status hierarchies were all affected by the changes, but there were also continuities. Some of the continuities reached back to the nineteenth century, when sociology was closely related to reform movements. This book focuses on the consequences of the 'near-death' experience of sociology in the 1980s, and its slow revival and transformation, as well as the challenges it faces in the new university environments.
