EXAMINING SOCIAL THEORY GEBUNDEN

This collection of essays introduces multiple social theories through discussions of ideas
across national borders. In each of the nine sections  the first chapter introduces a theory in
a context outside of the United States. The second chapter then responds to the first by
refocusing the discussion inside the United States. It has long been understood that it is
difficult to perceive one's own context as contingent on culture and history  thus  exploring
social phenomena in a different context assists in perceiving the dynamics at play. Ultimately
though  social theory should be used to analyze one's own environment and understand how class
race  gender  sexuality  religion  etc.  inform one's own culture. Examining Social Theory:
Crossing Borders  Reflecting Back brings together diverse perspectives on similarities and
differences across borders and cultures  and provides a structure in which they juxtapose 
align  contrast  and reverberate - the better for us to study  discuss  and understand.
