From this introduction, the reader gets the impression that the author was caught in a highly technocratic approach of practicing positivist sociology at the time. The post-1975 period was a time when the apparent triumph of progressive '60s values was decisively reversed, when the identity politics of the New Left fell into permanent disarray, when the liberal era's technocratic approaches to social problems were abandoned in favor of Manichean thinking that defined social ills as moral problems and aberrant behavior as the product of evil rather than dysfunction. Bowen, on the other hand, seems born for this none-too-glamorous, often technocratic role. |
