Rezensionen

'The analysis in Everyday Moralities is wonderfully clear and perceptive throughout, proving suitable for a wide audience, ranging from theorists of morality to digital ethnographers, along with graduate students investigating the resurgent sociology of morality. ...a much-needed alternative to moral decline perspectives, demonstrating how late-modern subjects thoughtfully labour to craft moral worlds worth living in.' - Matt Wade, Journal of Sociology
