About the Author Christopher T.
Our hope is to provide a resource that will help re-integrate these marginalized Social theorists, rescuing them from obscurity and elevating their status.
Many of these individuals played a significant role in the development of sociology.
We provide a contextualization of each scholar\'s work, using present-day Social issues or problems.
While Other similar texts tend to focus primarily on intellectual biography, our emphasis here is on the scholar\'s theories and their application to contemporary Social issues.
Each chapter includes a brief biographical sketch, an overview of the selected theorist\'s work and significance, and the relevance of their work to one or more contemporary Social issues.
