Just Queer Folks: Gender and Sexuality in Rural America

Modernity,’’ and Israel Gerver wrote with him about ‘‘The Sociology of Expertness,’’ ‘‘Art and Mass Society,’’ and ‘‘Crime and Punishment in the Factory.’’ All of these sociologists were New York intellectuals who pushed sociology toward considering and understanding the sources and meaning of mass society and mass culture, which were, of course, part and parcel of Bensman’s and Vidich’s famous work, Small Town in Mass Society. Anyone wanting to explore marginality in the life of early post-war sociological thinkers and some of the ways these scholars mitigated its effects on them by joining together in neo-Gemeinschaft intellectual circles would do well to read From Joseph Bensman. While the title of this book is obviously meant as an homage to Hans Gerth’s and C. Wright Mills’ famous From Max Weber: Essays in Sociology, it does little service to Bensman and his work, which, while substantial, hardly seems to be of the caliber of the Weber volume. On the other hand, the editors have done a very good job of introducing Bensman and his work and, in doing so, paying him real respect.
