With interdisciplinary coverage of a wide range of core topics - including social inequality, national identity, religion, sport and education - accompanied by comprehensive pedagogical features to encourage engagement, McCrone's introduction provides students with an exciting new textbook on Scottish society
Written by a leading sociologist of Scotland, this ground-breaking new introduction is a comprehensive account of the social, political, economic and cultural processes at work in contemporary Scottish society.
At a time of major uncertainty and transformation The New Sociology of Scotland explores every aspect of Scottish life, placed firmly in the context of globalisation, the text:
- examines a broad range of topics including race and ethnicity, social inequality, national identity, health, class, education, sport, media and culture, among many others
- unpicks the ramifications of the Scottish parliament election of May 2016
- uses learning features such as further reading and discussion questions to stimulate students to engage critically with issues raised.
Written in a lucid and accessible style, The New Sociology of Scotland is an indispensable guide for students of sociology and politics.
