{"product_id":"the-contexts-of-social-mobility-anselm-l-strauss-9780202307732","title":"The Contexts of Social Mobility: Ideology and Theory","description":"\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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anselm L.
