Produktbeschreibung
The Social Survey in Global Perspective traces the evolution of social surveys beyond celebrated metropolitan examples, exploring their worldwide impact across the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Contributors examine surveys in diverse contexts--from colonial territories to grassroots women's organizations--to reveal methodological challenges and profound social influence. The collection illuminates how surveys shaped state power, social movements, and individual identity while often reproducing existing hierarchies. By exploring the double-sided legacy of social surveying--as an engine of both progressive reform and state surveillance--this book offers a critical reassessment of empirical practices that continue to determine how we understand ourselves, our societies and our world.
