Sociology: A global perspective

Politics & Social Sciences

Ferrante-Wallace, Joan

Social Sciences

Wadsworth Pub. Co.

This was the first introductory text to use a truly comparative global approach to teach sociological concepts and ideas. Some texts claim to be global by including global boxes; however, the entire Ferrante text is written from this perspective. Ferrante uses an in-depth examination of life in other countries to help students understand sociological concepts while also providing comparison to the United States. By integrating throughout each chapter the connections to American society, this text gives students a broader understanding of sociological concepts, global interdependence, and societal differences as well as similarities.
