Abstract:
The so-called Chicago school has been a dominant presence in sociology since it emerged around the University of Chicago in the early decades of the twentieth century. Jean-Michel Chapoulie's groundbreaking book on the development and influence of the Chicago tradition provides a unique perspective on the history of social science.
