SynopsisSociology students sometimes ask, 'What does sociology have to do with me?' Our answer is 'everything' and this novel, a love story, is a unique way of bringing the sociological concepts and perspective into awareness. The Dancer's Gift: Sociology in Life brilliantly weaves sociological concepts with real life experience. The story of Samantha and Marcel helps students to understand the sociological perspective as it relates to their own social world. Tracie Gardner, Lecturer, California State University, Northridge Assigning this well written and innovative novel has helped my students embrace the sociological imagination. The authors certainly provide sociology faculty and students with a wonderful gift. Chuck Gallmeier, Professor and Chair, Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Indiana University Northwest, Sociology students sometimes ask, "What does sociology have to do with me?" The answer is "Everything," and this novel - a love story - is a unique way of bringing sociological concepts and perspectives into awareness. The Dancer's Gift: Sociology in Life introduces readers to 180 sociological concepts that are cleverly interwoven throughout this story about two lovers: Samantha, a sociology major, and Marcel, a dancer. Storytelling is the creative conversion of life itself to a clearer, more powerful, and more meaningful experience. The stories and characters of this hybrid novel/textbook have been chosen to represent a spectrum of different cultures, socio-economic strata, religions, and ethnicity. The stories cover a range of issues, including marriage and divorce, adultery, education, religion, gender issues, and racism - basically a kaleidoscope of sociology topics are presented as events in the context of a love story.
