Sociology of Hope: A New Theory - Paperback

by Adrian Scribano (Author)

This book presents an overview of the 'state of the art' of hope in sociology and proposes a new basic theory of hope linked to the classical theoretical traditions of sociology, to the perspective of its founding women and to the reconstruction of the contributions of the theories of revolution, utopia, social change and collective action.
