Logics Of History by William H. Sewell Jr.
Social Theory and Social Transformation
A collection of essays that advances an eventful sociology, arguing that social structures are enacted configurations of cultural schemas and material resources that can be reworked by contingent historical events. Integrating practice theory with historical analysis, it shows how meaning and power intertwine across multiple temporalities to produce and transform social orders, illustrated through cases such as the French Revolution. It also offers methodological guidance for combining thick description with causal explanation to trace pathways of social change.
