Strauss\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher: Routledge\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher Imprint: Routledge\u003cbr\u003e • BISAC: Sociology - General\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book contains a major statement by one of America's most preeminent sociologists on what remains an important problem in American history and social analysis: the nature and extent of movement within American society from one status to another. The most important images of mobility involve self-improvement by changing location (going to the frontier, coming to the big city), and by changing social class (second-generation immigrants). Almost all sociological and historical analysis has been limited to these themes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStrauss extends the concept to a wide range of ideologies, institutional contexts, and social movements; his analysis is based on a formal theory of status passage and develops a partial theory of mobility. Strauss addresses a theme that underscores much of one strand of his work: the changing articulation of individuals with their social structure and institutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book follows on from the theoretical presuppositions of \u003cem\u003eDiscovery of Grounded Theory\u003c\/em\u003e and the formal theory presented in \u003cem\u003eStatus Passage\u003c\/em\u003e. Strauss was continually concerned with American social and intellectual life in its historical and contemporary manifestations. No one else has looked at the important phenomenon of mobility in this broad a context and from this point of view. The book remains important to those concerned with the social history of America and with problems of social change.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46929150640279,"sku":"9780202307732","price":3609.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780202307732.webp?v=1771598130","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-contexts-of-social-mobility-ideology-and-theory-9780202307732","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
