A classic sociological study now available in paperback--over 223,000 copies sold (Doubleday and Princeton) and still invaluable for understanding the place of the small town in a growing society, with new material detailing the town's reaction to the publication of the book.
Arthur J. Vidich, professor emeritus of sociology and
anthropology at the New School for Social Research, is coauthor of
Collaboration, Reputation, and Ethics in American Academic Life:
Hans H. Gerth and C. Wright Mills, among other books. The late
Joseph Bensman was a distinguished professor of sociology at
the City University of New York and the author of numerous books,
including The New American Society: The Revolution of the Middle
Class (with Arthur J. Vidich).
"A reprint of the classic ... small-town study combining sociology and anthropology... This edition will be of special interest because of a 28-page reminiscence by surviving author Arthur Vidich concerning the project and the ways in which colleagues and others reacted to the book." -- Journal of the History of Behavioral Sciences
