About this Publication:

Is South Africa more equitable now than in 1994?

How can domestic violence be explained?
How are we as individuals shaped by larger structures, forces and institutions?
Why is the environment important for society?
Sociology: A Comprehensive South African Introduction provides a comprehensive introduction to
the sociological theories and themes commonly taught in undergraduate courses.
The book is divided into five broad sections: the foundations of sociology; the individual in
society; the institutions in society; the challenges for society; and sociology in context.
Each chapter addresses key issues, topics and debates in sociology today, and uses
contemporary and current South African case studies to make the material relevant and
meaningful to students. Chapter introductions serve as a narrative linking and providing cross-
references to material covered in other chapters, where appropriate.
