'As an introduction to White this book is very good and much needed' - Nick Crossley, Sociology
'Harrison White has been one of the most original and influential sociologists of the past quarter century. But, his work is daunting to read even for those who are highly motivated. Reza Azarian has done us all a great service by taking on the task of explicating White's work and making it organized and accessible. This book is a gem.' - Professor Neil Fligstein,
University of California, Berkeley, USA
