The Editors of Anthropoliteia are happy to announce yet another addition to our “Bibliographeme” suite of features.  This new feature, which we’re calling Tip of the Cap, will be edited by Jenny Carlson, a sociologist of policing  at the University of Toronto.  You can see more about her and her work under the About Us section and at her own personal website.

The series ‘tips the proverbial hat’ to the major works and big ideas that inspire established and up-and-coming scholars alike. In it, we’ll showcase these scholars and the classic works that shaped them.

The first installment of this series is written by Randol Contreras, Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Toronto and author of The Stickup Kids: Race, Drugs, Violence, and the American Dream (University of California Press, 2013), and focuses on C. Wright Mill’s The Sociological Imagination.  If you are interested in seeing a scholar featured here please send an email to anthropoliteia@gmail.com with “Tip of the Cap” in the subject line. Enjoy!
