Description
The Radical Durkheim provides an imaginative re-examination of the sociologist's work. A Poststructuralist Marxist approach is used to engage and criticize this seminal figure's work and also to reatin, develop and modify Durkheim's conceptualizations.
By his willingness to pay careful attention to the different discourses and chains of meaning that lie embedded in, and traverse Durkheim's texts, the author provides both an important account of a major theorist and an illustration of the excitement of a creative engagement with theory.
