Symbolic interactionism has a long history in sociology, social psychology, and related social sciences. In this volume, the editors and contributors explain its history, major theoretical tenets and concepts, methods of doing symbolic interactionist work, and its uses and findings in a host of substantive research areas.

Part of the "Blue Ribbon Paper Series", this book contains papers that cover theory and research presented at the Couch-Stone Spring Symposium, and the Annual Meetings of the Society for the Study of Symbolic Interaction. It includes theoretical developments in the areas of everyday life, race, Native Americans, politics, and performance.

This handbook provides an interdisciplinary perspective on theory, research and methodology on dynamic processes in parent-child relations. It focuses on cognitive, behavioural and relational processes that govern immediate parent-child interactions and long-term relationships.

Clear and up-to-date, this organized and intriguing introduction to symbolic interactionism focuses on the human being as an active participant in relation to his/her environment -- defining the many issues and complex relationship between the individual and society, as well as the relevance of this perspective to understanding the human being.

Introducing classical and contemporary theory alongside key empirical work, this book explores everyday life sociologies.

This volume brings together leading scholars in the area of symbolic interactionism to offer a broad discussion of issues including identity, dialogue and legitimacy.
