Canonical figures such as Robert Park, Everett Hughes, Howard S. Becker, and Erving Goffman established foundational principles of how to conduct social research. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis groundbreaking book on the development and influence of the Chicago tradition, first published in 2001, became an immediate classic in France, where Chicago sociology has exerted significant appeal. Drawing on deep archival research and interviews with members of the tradition, Jean-Michel Chapoulie interrogates evidence with a historian's eye and recognizes the profound effects that culture, society, and the economy have on individuals and institutions. His study is a fine-grained and panoramic portrait of the complex and interlocking factors that gave rise to the research interests and methodologies that characterized the Chicago tradition in the 1920s and that contributed to rises and falls in its predominance in American sociology over the following decades. Now revised and available for the first time in English, \u003ci\u003eChicago Sociology\u003c\/i\u003e provides a unique perspective on the history of social science in the twentieth century. A foreword by William Kornblum places Chapoulie's work in context and addresses recent critical challenges to the Chicago school and its origins.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean-Michel Chapoulie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231182511\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231182515\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2021","brand":"Jean-Michel Chapoulie","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941232869631,"sku":"9780231182515","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_a26171ba-5d46-46c3-88de-8f6eb951b3f2.jpg?v=1681451705","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/chicago-sociology-jean-michel-chapoulie-9780231182515","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
