Abstract:
A special section presents Toward a Hopeful Sociology by Richard Madsen (U. of California-San Diego) and Public Sociology on a Global Scale by Michael Burawoy (U. of California-Berkeley), both delivered to Association conferences, along with commentary on them by local sociologists. Such sections may be continued in later issues. Four other articles look at such topics as Chinese immigrant women in Canada, and sociological insights into barriers to fertility in Singapore. A review essays considers Chinese business networks and entrepreneurship, and eight recent books are reviewed. Annotation ©
