"This book intends to defamiliarize the familiar." It will demonstrate how human social and cultural life is far more complex than what common sense can tell us. It will change commonly held beliefs that we often take as true, because we are accustomed to experiencing them on a daily basis. The book employs the different perspectives of the social sciences discussing basic concepts, subjects, and methods of inquiry-in order for knowing; to arrive at a more scientific view of the complex and patterned operations of society and culture."
