Tools for understanding social change

Culture and Agency is a very useful book to understand social change. The Author provides several analitical tools to examine the relation between systems of beliefs and values and the stuctural opportunities individuals have to support or contest them. In doing so, she opens new ways to think sociological problems like the change in the role of woman in society, or the reinterpretations of culture proposed by new social movements, in spite of the fact that the book maintains itself in a theoretical level, without adressing substantive issues. I am a Ph.D. student, and the book was extremely helpful to iluminate my object of research, the women's movement.
