Castells work over the past thirty years represents a revolutionary rethinking of the processes of advanced capitalism and the generation of inequality. This book is the first collection of his writings to reflect the panoramic breadth of his work and the depth of his theoretical methods. Susser introduces Castells' work by placing it in historical and theoretical context, gathering some of his most significant essays in the fields of sociology, anthropology, political science, and urban studies. Also included is a new chapter by Castells, written expressly for this collection.
