Culture & Truth: The Remaking of Social Analysis Tapa blanda - 1993

Descripción de contraportada

Culture and Truth is a call for a new approach to thinking and writing about culture. Exposing the inadequacies of old conceptions of static, monolithic culture, and of detached, "objective" observers, the book argues instead for social science to acknowledge and celebrate diversity, narrative, emotion, and the unavoidability of subjectivity. In this edition, a new introduction gives powerful reasons for protecting diversity within and outside the academy.

If you want to know that many social scientists are up to these days, Culture and Truth is an excellent place to find out." – Los Angeles Times
