Reviews
From the reviews:
“... I find the volume as a whole to offer a broad range of diverse sources and perspectives that are conveniently brought together in a single compendium. For a handbook that necessarily presumes a certain level of disciplinary knowledge, and hence some degree of jargon, it is relatively accessible and clearly written ... This book is a substantial resource ...” (American Journal of Sociology)
