Description: Outsiders : Studies In The Sociology Of Deviance - Howard S. Becker - Free Press Re-Issue Edition - 2018 - VERY GOOD! 5.5 x 0.8 x 8.25 inches, 216 Pages, Pictorial Wraps, Perfect Bound Trade Paperback, Free Press Re-Issue Edition, 2018, Very Good Condition One of the most groundbreaking sociology texts of the 20th century, Howard S. Becker’s Outsiders revolutionized the study of social deviance. Howard S. Becker’s Outsiders broke new ground in the early 1960s—and the ideas it proposed and problems it raised are still argued about and inspiring research internationally. In this new edition, Becker includes two lengthy essays, unpublished until now, that add fresh material for thought and discussion. “Why Was Outsiders a Hit? Why Is It Still a Hit?” explains the historical background that made the book interesting to a new generation coming of age in the 60s and makes it of continuing interest today. “Why I Should Get No Credit For Legalizing Marijuana” examines the road to decriminalization and presents new ideas for the sociological study of public opinion. One of the most widely recognized sociology texts of the mid-20th century, Howard S. Becker’s Outsiders is a thorough exploration of social deviance and how it can be addressed in an understanding and helpful manner. A compulsively readable and thoroughly researched exploration of social deviance and the application of what is known as "labeling theory" to the studies of deviance. With particular research into drug culture, Outsiders analyzes unconventional individuals and their place in normal society. Condition is "Very Good". Great Condition, minor signs of shelf / storage wear, lightly bumped corners. Minor instances of underlining and notations early in the text, small stain on top edge and corner of page 200. Pricing label and security tag on rear cover. Despite its few relatively minor flaws this is a terrific example of this classic text, tightly bound, structurally solid, clean, clear, readable text make this a perfect copy for study and research at much less than the new text price.
