In an exciting and orginal introduction to the book, the editor provides an innovative critique of the Eurocentric and male-oriented nature of conventional sociological textbooks, and provides us with a new approach to understanding the field. The horizons of sociological theory are expanded by the inclusion of Rosa Luxembourg and a chapter by the fourteenth century Arab/North African scholar Ibn Khaldun. Nahla Abdo teaches in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Carleton University. Born in Isreal and now a Canadian citizen, she is also author of _Family, Women and Social Change in the Middle East: The Palestinian Case_. ************************** The book can be obtained via the Canadian Scholars' Press, 180 Bloor Street W., Suite 402, Toronto, Ontario M5S 2V6 CANADA.
