Unlike some existing works that focus primarily on Mills’ theoretical contributions or political commitments, this book weaves together the personal, intellectual, and political dimensions of Mills’ life, providing readers a comprehensive point of view. The authors show how Mills developed a coherent intellectual framework against which he could undertake an analysis of the unequal distribution of power. They re-read the works of C. Wright Mills within an epistemological framework that gives pride of place to classical sociology and its great authors. They also build bridges between the critical sociology of Pierre Bourdieu and the "politics of truth" proposed by Mills. The book emphasizes the contemporary relevance of Mills’ ideas. By drawing parallels between Mills’ insights and current sociological works, it offers readers reading grids for a better understanding of today’s world. Rediscovering the sociological work of C. Wright Mills allows us to revisit the history of American sociology and to identify research orientations for today: on power, institutions, social stratification and the methods used to study them. The book is crafted in an engaging, narrative style making complex sociological concepts accessible without sacrificing depth. 0aSociology. 0aSociologyxMethodology. 0aEthnology.14aSociological Theory.24aSociological Methods.24aSociocultural Anthropology.1 aRéau, Bertrand.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303183011208iPrinted edition:z9783031830136 0aSpringerBriefs in Sociology,x2212-637640uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-83012-9
