claude's blog

Berkeley sociologist Claude Fischer authors a fine new blog, building on Made in America: A Social History of American Culture and Character, his new book with University of Chicago Press. In the first few posts, Professor Fischer takes on individualism, taxes, baseball, consumerism, Christianity, and health. Characteristically, and consistent with his vision as Contexts' founding editor, both book and blog offer accessible but rigorous social science. To learn a bit more about the book, check out the current cover interview for Rorotoko.
