[D J Rout]

This was a textbook so my rating is based on how good it is as a textbook and in that sense it is reasonable but not great. It does cover the topic pretty well, but it also sums up everything that's wrong with Sociology as a discipline. This is a collection of opinions barely supported by evidence.
Even though it has a comprehensive references section, the sources are all more opinions unsuported by evidence. Womens' studies haas a barrow to push, so this is what you would expect, but couching a collection of polemics as a textbook is a bit of a con on the reader.
