Reading this book, many of us will discover that we have always been pragmatists, without knowing it. The New Pragmatist Sociology proposes to lead the social sciences out of the wilderness of crisis in which we have been wandering for the past fifty-odd years. Its rich and diverse range of topics-from everyday life to structural issues of racism and inequality-simultaneously demonstrates and enacts pragmatism's breadth and significance. More than a theory or methodology, it becomes a double mode of engagement, of sociologists in pragmatic inquiry and sociologists coming to understand people engaging in pragmatic action. -- John R. Hall, author of <i>Apocalypse: From Antiquity to the Empire of Modernity</i> The New Pragmatist Sociology introduces readers to the long sociological tradition of pragmatism and shows how it can be harnessed effectively to address a wide range of empirical problems central to the discipline. The editors are widely considered among the leading voices in the pragmatist revival, and this volume illuminates a promising path for sociology to take. -- Peter Bearman, author of <i>Working for Respect: Community and Conflict at Walmart</i>
