Description

Description:

Understand the fabric of our nation. Sociology: A Comprehensive South African Introduction is the premier resource for students looking to analyze the complexities of South African life. Unlike international texts, this book examines classical and contemporary sociological theories through a distinctly local lens, tackling the specific challenges of our history, inequality, and social transformation.

Local Focus: Deep dives into South African themes such as land reform, the legacies of Apartheid, and the unique structure of the SA family.
Decolonized Curriculum: Moves beyond Western thinkers to include African perspectives and the “Global South” experience.
Modern Social Issues: Comprehensive coverage of digital activism, urbanization in SA, and the sociology of health (including the impact of HIV/AIDS and COVID-19).
Student-Friendly: Features clear definitions of “big concepts” like Intersectionality, Social Stratification, and Globalization.

Key Topics Covered:

Sociological Theory: From Marx, Durkheim, and Weber to contemporary Afrocentric and Feminist theories.
Social Inequality: Analyzing the intersection of race, class, and gender in the South African context.
Social Institutions: A look at the changing roles of religion, education, and the media in our society.
Demography and Urbanization: Understanding the shifts in South African population dynamics and city life.
Social Change: How social movements and policy shift the landscape of our country.
