Abstract

BOOK REVIEWS Since many of th e articles in th e book are available elsewhere, readers of this journa l will probably be most interested in th e book's long introductory essay in which the editors undertake a description and analysis of recent ideas and research trends in the sociology of education. As has happened in sociology proper , the sociology of education has been marked by considerable factional turmoil during the last decade. In England, a radical disjuncture has been proposed between the so-called "old" sociology of education and th e "new" (see Young, 1971). T o some extent this is a struggle between generations, in which the younger sociologists of educatio n discount the older . In their lengthy review, Karabel and Halsey discuss these and other trends. Halsey was himself desig­ nated by the "new" sociology as a prominent member of the "old"—and therefore, presumably deserving of the dustbin. Perhaps as a result, the review's depiction of the "new" sociology of education is rather ambivalent. While it is described as havin g "infused new life into the sociology of education, " the review also suggests that it has "produce d many new departure s but disturbingly
