A voracious intellect with a perpetual sense of curiosity, he defies easy labelling. \u003cem\u003eWhen Ideas Mattered\u003c\/em\u003e is a critical volume, but it also contains autobiographical essays Glazer has written over the years to explain the evolution of his own thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is a sensitive and nuanced examination of a towering intellectual figure on the American scene. It is organized into sections corresponding to Glazer's wide ranging interests: ethnicity, race, social policy and urbanism, and architecture. He has written on the myth of the American melting pot, the nature of American communism, the perils and importance of affirmative action, and the limits of social policy. Because Glazer's work has influenced succeeding generations of thinkers and scholars in a number of fields, the editors have included appraisals and assessments by several of these writers written especially for this volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leslie Lenkowsky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 141286416X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781412864169\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/30\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 1.00d","brand":"Leslie Lenkowsky","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088186618111,"sku":"9781412864169","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_88db4439-7eb4-417a-9262-8ea109092968.jpg?v=1769103534","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/when-ideas-mattered-leslie-lenkowsky-9781412864169","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
