New Zealand Society
A Sociological Introduction
Description:... New Zealand Society introduces the reader to a sociological understanding of contemporary New Zealand society. Sociology is a discipline which offers new and critical insights on the way in which society works. It provides an exciting area of study, and the best of New Zealand sociology is provided here as specialist contributors discuss their particular areas of interest: family, community, urban, rural, class, racism and ethnicity, gender, the state, social policy, health, education, politics, the media, crime and deviance, work, leisure, arts and population. This book is based on the earlier and very successful New Zealand: Sociological Perspectives (1982). It contains material which is easily understood and it covers all the major areas and issues of contemporary society.
