The Americanization Of Social Science: Intellectuals And Public Responsibility In The Postwar United States by David Haney - 9781592137138

An explanation for sociology's isolation from American society, this book introduces readers to such luminaries as Talcott Parsons, C Wright Mills, David Riesman, and others. It illustrates how their struggle to define a discipline reflected the discipline's own development in this country, and their claims for sociology's role about the US.
