Within the current landscape of economic and political crisis, Cassano (sociology, Oakland U.) and Dello Buono (sociology, Manhattan College) find a renewed space for resurgence of the political left, a resurgence that they hope will be accompanied by a renewal of critical perspectives in the social sciences. They present 13 papers exploring the history, current ideas, and future directions of critical sociology. Among the topics examined are the history of the Radical Caucus of the American Sociological Association, the critical tradition's contribution of class analysis and understandings of imperialism to mainstream sociology, the divide between radical Weberian thought and Marxism, the "color blind" racial politics of the Obama presidency, Obama and US-Latin American relations, racism as justification of imperialism, the value of Guy Debord and the Situationist Movement to a renewed socialism, the critical theory of religion, lingering elements of white supremacy within the quotidian interpersonal interactions of everyday life, Foucauldian understandings of surveillance, and the political economy of school violence in Trinidad.
