Reviews
“This is a sterling collection of essays that explicates the work of the founding framers, late twentieth-century paladins, and some of today’s luminaries in symbolic interactionism. The “interactionist imagination” is the best sociological imagination because it weaves together structure and agency in sociological explanation. Jacobsen’s project demonstrates that the interactionist imagination deserves center stage in the interpretation of human events.” (Gil RichardMusolf, Central Michigan University, USA, and editor of “Studies in Symbolic Interaction”)
