PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Robert Wuthnow is the Gerhard R. Andlinger ’52 Professor of Social Sciences at Princeton University. His many books include Small-Town America and Remaking the Heartland (both Princeton).
Thanks to Wuthnow's rich observations, we are able to address and understand what truly confronts us as a nation: the triumph of mass society through mass politics in the name of the `little guy.' Little did we know that such a person would also have the hands to match. -L. Benjamin Rolsky, Los Angeles Review of Books Writing with empathy . . . the author reflects on the factors shaping rural life-from the importance of faith to the stability and familiarity of life in town to the importance of ritual events (barn dances, etc.), stories, and symbols-as well as pressing problems (brain drain, teen pregnancy, drugs, lack of good jobs) and concerns over moral decline (abortion and homosexuality). . . . A superb, authoritative sociology book. -Kirkus Reviews Wuthnow has conducted one of the deepest, most intimate examinations of small-town life ever undertaken. -David Shribman, Globe and Mail
