Class And Society
From the Foreword: Today the study of social stratification is a major sociological enterprise in the United States. To be sure, earlier American sociologists -- for example, Ward and Sumner and Cooley -- were concerned with the subject, but its rise to prominence in more recent times began less than two decades ago. Interest in stratification was provoked by events of the 1930s: by the Great Depression and the associated economic and political developments of the prewar decade; by the temporary but often intense preoccupation of American intellectuals with Marxist theory, which rarely engulfed but frequently stimulated younger sociologists; by the influx of scholars from abroad whose interest in stratification derived from their European social background and academic training; by the slow but persistent departure from "crude empiricism: in the direction of a convergence of research and theory, the latter including previously neglected conceptions of class structure and change.
