About this book
Ellwood’s sociology text uses social problems to show how social conditions can be studied, moving from family organization and population change to city life. In his discussion of Lewis H. Morgan, Iroquois kinship follows the maternal line, evidence that scholars used to build theories about early family structures. Turning to urban growth, Ellwood rejects attempts to halt it and argues that cities must be treated as lasting features of modern society.
