Abstract
This book offers a concise introduction to anyone interested in the formation of sociology in different national settings across the globe. Charles Crothers’ Sociologies of New Zealand is one of a series of national accounts, now nearly two dozen, under the editorship of John Holmwood and Stephen Turner titled ‘Sociology Transformed’, chronicling sociology’s development country-by-country. It corresponds to Harley and Wickham’s (2014) Australian Sociology: Fragility, Survival, Rivalry in the series. Crothers’ own career covers much of this period, matching sociology as a recognisable university discipline with a professional association that turned 50 in 2013. The Sociological Association of Aotearoa/New Zealand had, in this period, split from the Australian association, started its own journal and added ‘Aotearoa’ to its name, repositioning Māori–white relations in New Zealand.
