   I thought that members of this newsgroup might be interested in the
  following new book:  
    
   	   _Sociological Thought:  Beyond Eurocentric Theory_
   			 edited by Nahla Abdo
   
   ISBN 1-55130-0063-X
   
     			************************
  
  
   _Sociological Thought:  Beyond Eurocentric Thoery_ is designed to provide
   students of sociology with an alternative vision of social theory.  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_.
