The purpose of this proposed addition to the Anthem Companions series is to add another title to a growing list of well-received publications (including the author’s prior contribution on Robert E. Park). In so doing, the goal is to reconnect some scholars to Riesman’s legacy and to introduce him to others. Specifically, the book consists of an editor’s introduction and seven contributed chapters.
The purpose of this book is to revisit the legacy of David Riesman, author of The Lonely Crowd, the biggest selling sociology book to date, and a highly influential public intellectual during the second half of the twentieth century.
