Marrying Analysis and Action -- $tIndex 330 $aThese invaluable essays offer an insider's perspective on three decades at a major American university during a time of political turmoil. Neil J. Smelser, who spent thirty-six years as a professor of sociology at the University of California, Berkeley, sheds new light on a full range of the issues that dominated virtually all institutions of higher learning during the second half of the twentieth century. Smelser considers student activism-in particular the Free Speech Movement at Berkeley-political surprises, affirmative action, multiculturalism and the culture wars, and much more. As one of the leading sociologists of his generation, Smelser is uniquely qualified to convey and analyze the complexities of administrating a first-rate and very large university as it encounters a highly politicized environment. 606 $aUniversities and colleges$zCalifornia$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aUniversities and colleges$xHistory. 676 $a378.794/67 700 $aSmelser$b Neil J$089308 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455570103321 996 $aReflections on the University of California$92471854 997 $aUNINA
