FREEDOMWAYS               SECOND QUARTER 1973

the death of American and European bourgeois sociology, that has much validity. But if Ladner means the death of the sociology of Karl Marx and Marxist Bernhard J. Stern or even C. Wright Mill's The Power Elite and The Marxists and Alvin W. Gouldner's The Coming Crisis of Western Sociology, then she and her colleagues are away off the beam. There is no special new sociology for black sociologists to develop which applies to black problems only.)
