Taking It Big Summary

Taking It Big: Developing Sociological Consciousness in Postmodern Times by Steven P. Dandaneau

This book is intended as an accessible, current, and uncompromised introduction to what C Wright Mills called the sociological imagination. It explains and demonstrates the value of the sociological imagination vis-[gr]a-vis the demands of today's postmodern society, critically addresses the chief forces working against its development, and invites students to adopt this form of self-consciousness as their own.
