TEACHSOC: Re: Social Conflict Reading

Fri, 23 Jun 2006 08:16:58 -0700

Hi, John and other dear teachers.  If you're OK straying from the functionalist path, you might want to consider Georg Simmel's essay "Conflct" in Conflict and the Web of Group Affiliation.  Of course, Marx and Engels's "Manifesto of the Communist Party" is short, sweet, and explains class conflict pretty nicely.  That's a good start in any case...

Hope that helps.  As always, A.
