Critical Social Theory Culture, History, and the Challenge of Difference

Moving with ease from the early Frankfurt School to Habermas, to contemporary debates over postmodernism, feminism and nationalism, Calhoun breathes new life into Critical Social Theory, showing how it can learn from the past and contribute to the future.Calhoun, Craig is the author of 'Critical Social Theory Culture, History, and the Challenge of Difference' with ISBN 9781557862884 and ISBN 1557862885.
