The Death of White Sociology
In the 1970s, the battle for racial equality being waged in the streets an d the legislatures took the ivory tower. Black students, researchers and instructors had long been witness to the distortion of their history, their communities, and their identities in the classroom and in the field. The Black community had long borne the brunt of academia s failings. But many, like the contributors to Joyce A. Ladner s The Death of White Sociology, took up their pens and raised their voices against mis-education and bias in social science research.

Every graduate sociology student should read this alongside “Public Sociology: Fifteen Eminent Sociologists Debate Politics and the Profession in the Twenty-first Century” by Clawson et al.
Don’t be dissuaded by the title, as it was written in the 1970s. It gives an array of black perspectives on the objectivity of social science and role in the public and its drastically distinct and informative relative to Clawson’s authors.
