"Social reality" as a book category covers works that examine how societies create, maintain, and change the shared meanings, institutions and practices that shape everyday life. It includes sociology, social theory, cultural studies, ethnography, political economy and related nonfiction that explore topics such as norms, identity, power, race, gender, class, institutions, media, and collective behavior—from micro-level interactions to large-scale structures. Books in this category explain the processes by which ideas become taken-for-granted facts, document how social arrangements are produced and contested, and often address the consequences for policy, justice and personal experience. They range in style from academic analyses and investigative reporting to narrative nonfiction and memoir, but are united by a focus on understanding the constructed, relational nature of the social world.
