Historical Note
Pitirim Aleksandrovich Sorokin (1889-1968) was a Russian American sociologist. After the rise of Vladimir Lenin’s regime in Russia, Sorokin was forced to flee the country. He became a professor of sociology at the University of Minnesota in 1924 before accepting the head role of Harvard University’s new sociology department in 1930. As a sociologist, Sorokin is known for his contributions to social cycle theory which focuses on the argument that stages of human society and history repeat cyclically. In all, he was the author of more than 30 books.
Content Description
Collection contains the manuscript of chapter 4 from Sorokin’s book, Sociological Theory of Today, published in 1966; and manuscripts for Basic Trends of Our Times and Sorokin’s autobiography A Long Journey.
