How do we make sense of the rise of political strongmen like Trump and
Erdoğan, or the increase in hate crimes and terrorism? How can we understand
Brexit and xenophobic, anti-immigrant sentiments and policies? More
importantly, what can we do to make it all stop?
In Restless Ideas, Tony Simmons illustrates how social theory provides us with
the skills for more informed observation, analysis and empathic understanding
of social behaviour and social interaction. Social theory deepens our
understanding of the world around us by empowering us to become practical
theorists in our own lives.
Simmons traces the roots of contemporary social theory back to the works of
the early structural functionalists, systems theorists, conflict theorists,
symbolic interactionists, and ethnomethodologists, and incorporates
contemporary social thinkers theorizing from the margins who are redefining
the canon. Later chapters focus on the current influence of structuration
theory, feminist and queer theory, Indigenous theory, third wave critical
theory, postmodernism and poststructuralism, and liquid and late modernity
theories and globalization theories.
