The topics of civility and incivility are very much in the forefront of public debate. This present 2-part 550-page work by sociologist Benet Davetian provides one of the most comprehensive works available on the topic since the publication of Norbert Elias's seminal work, The Civilizing Process. It is written to be useful to academics, upper-division students, and the general public. The first part of the work traces the development of civility, from medieval to contemporary times, in France, England and the United States of America. The second part of the work offers a comprehensive discussion of the social psychology of civility and why cultures continue to possess varying civility traditions and practices. Based on a comparative study of civility practices this work makes an original contribution to social and cultural theory and to the growing fields of cross-cultural sociology and anthropology. 550 pages in PDF typeset chapters. |
