A review by mmbirchtree
Invitation to Sociology: A Humanistic Perspective by Peter L. Berger
2.0
If you are not required to read this book for class, stop. Put it down. Go find something more modern.
This book is sexist, or at least androcentric. I'm not exaggerating when I say that every example in this book is of a man. Women appear only as wives or girlfriends who are objects to be pursued or acted upon, not as actors themselves. "Man" and "men" and "mankind" are used unironically as neutral pronouns.
In this day and age, you can do better.
