Critical Sociology's book review section will now begin focusing
on publishing more comprehensive review essays. Such essays of
approximately 5,000 words in length generally examine three to four
books of a similar topic through a scholarly lens. For example, we
currently have four titles that examine the economic crisis from a
critical/left perspective. They are:
1. McNally, David. Global Slump: The Economics and Politics of Crisis and Resistance
2. Lilley, Sasha. Capital and its Discontents: Conversations with Radical Thinkers in a Time of Tumult
3. Albo, Greg, Sam Gindin, and Leo Panitch. In and Out of Crisis: The Global Financial Meltdown and Left Alternatives
4. Calhoun, Craig and Georgi Derluguian. Business as Usual: The Roots of the Global Financial Meltdown
Alternatively, a review essay may draw on a single book title and
discuss its relevance along a broad framework such as contemporary
scholarship, or in light of recent events, or its utility in an activist
setting, etc.
In addition, Critical Sociology welcomes review essays concerned with
contemporary media and cultural productions, including but not limited
to fiction, cinema, and independent music. These review essays should meet the same criteria set out for book review essays, discussed above.
If you are interested in writing a book review essay for the journal or
