Abstract
The Anthem Companion to Everett Hughes is a comprehensive and updated critical discussion of Hughes’s contribution to sociology and his current legacy in the social sciences. A global team of scholars discusses issues such as the international circulation of Hughes’s work, his intellectual biography, his impact on current ethnographic research practices and the use in current research of such Hughesian concepts as master status, dirty work and bastard institutions. This companion is a useful reference for students of classical sociology, practitioners of ethnographic research and scholars of sociology in the Chicagoan tradition.
Dr Rick Helmes-Hayes is Professor in the Department of Sociology and Legal Studies at the University of Waterloo, Canada.
Dr Marco Santoro is Professor in the Department of Philosophy and Communication at the University of Bologna, Italy.
