This text for courses in cultural sociology, sociology, and social problems uses classical and contemporary sociological theory to analyze traditional topics in the sociology of culture, such as culture and identity, as well as emerging topics, such as religious terrorism and the Internet, media revolutions and cultural communities, and global electronic culture. The text offers a comparative analysis of cultural objects and practices in Nigeria, China, the US, and the Middle East. The first four chapters investigate the connections between four elements: cultural objects, cultural creators, cultural receivers, and the social world. Later chapters look at two specific cases: social problems and business transactions in a multicultural world. Chapter summaries and discussion questions are included. This fourth edition includes updated examples from many different cultures, plus new coverage of nationalism, the construction of gender, and cross-cultural trust. Griswold teaches sociology at Northwestern University. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
