The book critiques mainstream sociology by analyzing journal articles that focus more on methodological advancements than substantive issues. It highlights the conservative tendencies within the discipline and draws on the works of Mills, critical theory, and postmodernism. Agger proposes a non-positivist approach to sociological writing, aiming to make it more accessible and pertinent to contemporary social problems.
