This volume explores the enduring influence of Introduction to the Science of
Sociology, published a century ago by Robert Park and Ernest Burgess. It brings
together scholars from the United States, Canada, and Italy, who collectively
demonstrate the work's enduring relevance and its important role in the dialogue
between European and American sociology. The contributors examine topics raised
in the original text that remain as relevant as ever, including segregation, the concept
of assimilation and the marginal man, subcultures, constructive isolation, collective
behavior, the German roots of the Chicago School, socio-spatial evolution over
time, fashion and metropolis, and social creativity from the ecological school to the
digital challenge.
