But the case turned out to be contrary. The Catholic societies Madson examined in rural ...

Chen Village under Mao and Deng, Expanded and Updated edition

3 reviews
Anita Chan, Richard Madsen, ...

University of California Press, 1992

It's one thing to study the Cultural Revolution, for example, but to see ...

Robert N. Bellah, Richard Madsen, ...

University of California Press, 2007

Sorting It All Out
HABITS OF THE HEART is a tour de force whose insights into America are as relevant today as they were nearly twenty years ago when the book was published. It was hailed at that time as an instant classic of sociology, and compared to such influential works as MIDDLETOWN and THE LONELY CROWD. If anything, its insights are even more pertinent now. The subtitle "Individualism and Commitment in ...
