The Astructural Bias: Myth or Reality constitutes a collection of outstanding essays by scholars who address the concern of an astructural bias. Chapters explore the nature of social structure and SI's effectiveness in using the concept. This volume is beneficial for contemporary interactionists and their critics, social theorists, and all students of sociology who are interested in assessing the ability of SI to fully address the grave social circumstances and social problems of an increasingly precarious and dangerous world. 410 0$aStudies in symbolic interaction ;$v46. 606 $aSocial Science, Social Classes$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial interaction$2bicssc 606 $aSymbolic interactionism 615 7$aSocial Science, Social Classes. 615 7$aSocial interaction. 615 0$aSymbolic interactionism. 676 $a150.8 701 $aMusolf$b Gil Richard$f1951-$01705929 801 0$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821483403321 996 $aThe astructural bias charge$94093023 997 $aUNINA
