The essays in the collection were committed with specific requirements to the writers that the articles be written in a way that can be easily understandable by general readers. The finished book, as it is now, fulfills the wishes of the authors. Whether sociology of law, the study of law and society, or law and social theory as a discipline belongs to sociology or jurisprudence may prove to be relatively unimportant, but the service this volume has provided for such a field is enormously great.Yu Xingzhong, The Chinese University of Hong KongThe Law and Politics Book ReviewMarch 2003Banakar's and Travers' 'Introduction to Law and Social Theory' contains some valuable essays useful mainly to undergraduate studentsEmmanuel MelissarisModern Law ReviewSeptember 2003there is no doubt that this book is an excellent 'state of the discipline' account of a discipline whose connections with the themes constitutive of 'modernity' may never be untied.Philip HarrisThe Law TeacherApril 2004
