"Self and Society is one of the best anthologies I have ever
read. With its publication, Branaman establishes herself as a
leader among scholarly anthologizers in sociology. The book is
certain to become a favorite with scholars, students, and all
others who simply want to read about the mysteries of the worlds
between selves and societies." Charles Lemert, Wesleyan
University
"Ann Branaman has given us a rich collection of essays that make
clear the contribution of the sociological perspective on social
psychology. Whether classical or contemporary, each essay is a gem.
Focusing especially on the social construction of reality, the
sociology of thought and emotions, interaction and inequality and
the self in social context, this collection is a must read for all
sociologists." Patricia Ticineto Clough, The Graduate Center of
the City University of New York
