Its rich and diverse range of topics—from everyday life to structural issues of racism and inequality—simultaneously demonstrates and enacts pragmatism’s breadth and significance. More than a theory or methodology, it becomes a double mode of engagement, of sociologists in pragmatic inquiry and sociologists coming to understand people engaging in pragmatic action. -- John R.
