Books by Charles C. Lemert

An eloquent discussion of classical social theory from Charles Lemert. Ideal introduction for students.

Widely acclaimed, this updated edition explores the new meaning of the crisis of Western society in a post-9/11 world.

This second edition responds to the claim that postmodernism is over. It explains the historical connections between the postmodern and globalization. The author shows that the postmodern is less a theory than a condition of social life brought about by the trouble modernity has gotten itself into.
