Erving Goffman and the Cold War - Hardcover

by Gary D. Jaworski (Author)

This new reading of Erving Goffman's work shows how his analyses of everyday life portray interactional analogs of larger Cold War realities. Rather than viewing Goffman as microsociologist of the mundane, he is shown to be a powerful social theorist of the American Cold War.
