Impressive account of American sports, albeit with less sociological theory than expected
Widely published and award-winning American sociology professor emeritus, Christopher B. Doob has a new book with Routledge, Great Expectations: The Sociology of Survival and Success in Organized Team Sports. We asked Anders Östnäs, Lund University, to read Doob’s book and present us with a review. Our reviewer regrets the paucity of sociological theory while enjoying the narrative that came in its place.
