Jon Witt’s SOC 2020 takes a non-traditional approach than most introductory sociology textbooks. It sticks very closely to the three sociological theories, but it does so in a way that is more accessible and approachable for students. Witt incorporates relevancy in a very candid way that is familiar to students, yet still formal enough for instructors. The sixth edition of SOC 2020 offers significant changes in each chapter, but the most substantial changes are in Chapter 8 and Chapter 15. Chapter 8, the chapter dedicated to race and ethnicity, has been completely overhauled. The new structure sets the stage for a more sociological informed understanding of race and ethnicity. The updated chapter includes more historical context, a head-on discussion of the limits of biological approaches to race, a consideration of why such biological justifications are put forth, and a more detailed discussion of the consequences of such social constructions. In Chapter 15, instructors will find a more thoughtful discussion of social change. Chapter 15 reinforces the idea that positive social change is possible and how those actions can yield new structures.
