Activism, Identity, and Social Theory in the 1960s examines the crucial connection between social analysis and everyday practice using a study of the transformative social movements of the 1960s. It demonstrates how personal experiences of discrimination can reflect broader mechanisms of social exclusion, to reveal how the fusion of personal and political spheres created new forms of identity politics and social activism that continue to shape contemporary society.Seven interconnected chapters offer unique insights covering pivotal events including May '68 in France, the New Left, Women's Liberation, racial justice movements, Gay Liberation, Northern Ireland, and Vietnam War protests. Each chapter illuminates how marginalized groups confronted injustice while highlighting the influences from social theory and philosophy that shaped activist thinking. In doing so, the author sheds light on how the events of 1968 influenced future political developments and culminated in the development of ideas such as intersectionality.Designed for advanced undergraduate students, postgraduate students, and researchers across social science disciplines including sociology and political science, this accessible text provides essential context and offers new arguments for understanding contemporary social movements and identity politics.

This book argues that of today's 'core' social scientific disciplines, it is sociology that has inherited the capacious ambitions of the Scottish Enlightenment.Departing from the practice of classifying thinkers of the Scottish Enlightenment using modern disciplinary categories that they themselves would not have recognised - categories that obscure the fact that these figures were engaged in what they considered to be a wide-ranging, historical science of society - it argues that sociology continues to explore many of the central themes in their work: historical processes, relations of power, societal differentiation and integration, morality, jurisprudence, violence, civil society and the state, as well as social divisions of class, gender, race and nation that are often overlooked in characterisations of 'Enlightenment reason'. A critical, qualified introduction to the precocious effort of the Scottish Enlightenment to create a theory of 'the civilising process', The Roots of Sociology assesses the contribution and continuing relevance of the enlightened intellectuals to sociology as an intergenerational process. As such, it will appeal to scholars and students of sociology, social theory and intellectual history.
