"This is a very good book, which successfully achieves the editors'
aims of encouraging engagement with the key processes of the
contemporary period. I have no doubt that its brief introductions
and suggestions for further reading will prove very useful to those
new to contemporary social theory, but keen to learn more. I would
be pleased to recommend it to my students." Steven Groarke,
University of Surrey
"This volume will be useful for anyone seeking to chart the terrain
of contempoary social theory ... the work covers much ground and
will undoubtedly be a handy reference for students of social and
cultural theory." Ian Tregenza, Australian Journal of Political
Science
