This book is not intended to be a political or historical chronicle, only a series of recollections, which always are selective and tinted by one's own experience and ideology. Social theory is what we do when we find ourselves able to put into words what nobody seems to want to talk about.

When we find those words, and say them, we begin to survive. For some, learning to survive leads to uncommon and exhilarating pleasures. For others, perhaps the greater numbers of us, it leads at least to the common pleasure a pleasure rubbed raw with what is: Kate Reed is a lecturer in Sociology at the University of Sheffield. She has published broadly in areas such as social theory, gender, race and ethnicity, and the sociology of health, illness and medicine.

She is the author of Worlds of Health Praeger The book has taken just over two years to write. The idea for the book, however, was conceived several years ago during my time teaching social theory to undergraduates as a PhD student at the University of Southampton. The book was written during my time as a lecturer at the University of Kent and completed at the University of Sheffield. As a result, there are numerous people I would like to thank from a variety of institutions.

Thanks, first, to the editorial staff at Sage for their help and support. My participation in a British Sociological Association roundtable discussion in on sociological theory and its audiences, along with Graham Crow, John Holmwood, Gregor McLennan and Larry Ray, also helped me to develop the book's argument.

Informal conversations with others on social theory have also helped immensely with the development of the book. In particular, thanks to John Jervis for social theory discussions over cake and hot chocolate during the writing process, and to Les Back for conversations on C. Wright Mills and others. Also thanks to Richard Jenkins and Bridgette Wessels for discussions in and around social theory. Special thanks to Claire Alexander for making me think hard about my overall arguments and for her insightful comments regarding race and ethnicity.

Thanks to Graham Crow for his encyclopaedic knowledge of sociology. Thanks also to colleagues at the Department of Sociological Studies at the University of Sheffield for giving me the space to finish the book on arrival there. Finally, thanks to close friends, in particular Mel Semple and my family my mum Ann, my dad Lewis, siblings Sarah, Nick, and especially my fabulous and entertaining younger brother Dominic. Finally, I would like to extend special thanks to my partner Leo, who has been essential to the production of the book.

He has helped me to develop ideas, read the manuscript and has personally made me very happy.

Target Audience Specialized Summary "New Directions in Social Theory offers a contribution to current debates on the history and development of sociology and the exclusion of certain theorists - either female, black, or both - from the mainstream of social theorizing.

With biographical sketches bringing the dynamics behind the 'canon' to life, Kate Reed focuses on the omission of theorists on race and gender from important discussions on inequality. She also critically examines existing accounts of the history of the discipline, situating the development of social theory within a wider social and political context.
