Description

Explore the life of the most cited American sociologist with this definitive biography from Routledge. While many studies examine the scholarship of Erving Goffman, this work provides the first comprehensive look at the man behind the theories. Goffman was known for analyzing the facades people create to protect their private selves, yet he famously guarded his own personal life with similar care. This biography traces his journey as an intellectual of Russian-Jewish descent. It explains how he transformed the concept of the "Potemkin village" into a significant research program. By examining his personal history, the book reveals how major shifts in his professional career were connected to dramatic events within his family and private life. This is an essential read for students and scholars interested in social and urban history and the development of sociological thought.
