• Chapter 1. Mills in ContextChapter 2. Mills: Life, Career, PoliticsChapter 3. Pragmatism, Sociology of Knowledge, and Sociological PsychologyChapter 4. Organised LabourChapter 5. The American Middle ClassesChapter 6. The High and the MightyChapter 7. Political Responsibility and TruthChapter 8. The Sociological ImaginationChapter 9. Mills: Looking Back, Forward-Looking

This very lively and readable book brilliantly locates Mills's work in its biographical and social context - something which was also characteristic of his own wide-ranging critical sociology. Treviño's comprehensive knowledge of Mills's work and of the American society and sociology of the period makes this much more than just an introductory book. It will be a valuable resource for specialists as well as for readers beginning an encounter with a thinker who remains highly relevant today.
