He recounts his time as a graduate and professor during the ideological ferment in sociology departments of the 1970s, and explores how his experiences intersected with a changing political and intellectual world up to the present. Recalling Max Weber, Burawoy argues that sociology is much more than just a discipline - it is a vocation, to be practiced everywhere and by everyone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Burawoy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1509519157\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509519156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.43h x 5.43w x 0.79d","brand":"Michael Burawoy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995367899391,"sku":"9781509519156","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9bd4b5c3-70e9-42a4-afcd-f164ae492546.jpg?v=1683335424","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/public-sociology-michael-burawoy-9781509519156","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
