Reviews

Prasad has combined two books in one. The first is a witty and subversive guidebook for students that maps the pathway they should follow to create excellent and impactful social science. The second is a profound meditation on the sociology of knowledge that deserves a wide audience. She has updated Mills' Sociological Imagination for the 21st century." -Fred Block, Research Professor, University of California-Davis

Problem-Solving Sociology is a reminder to many of us of why we got into sociology: to make a difference. Prasad has written a highly engaging and accessible book on how to put our methods and theories to good use. She takes on the critics and inspires the enthusiasts. This book offers the keys to both rejuvenating the discipline and generating social change." -Mary Pattillo, Northwestern University

Problem-Solving Sociology is a thoughtful, reasoned discussion of a wide variety of complex and controversial topics." -Andrew Abbott, Gustavus F. and Ann M. Swift Distinguished Service Professor, The University of Chicago
