Microsociologists seek to capture social life as it is experienced, and in recent decades no one has championed the microsociological approach more fiercely than Randall Collins.

The pieces in this exciting volume offer fresh and original insights into key aspects of Collins' thought, and of microsociology more generally.

The introductory essay by Elliot B. Weininger and Omar Lizardo provides a lucid overview of the key premises this perspective.

Ethnographic papers by Randol Contreras, using data from New York, and Philippe Bourgois and Laurie Kain Hart, using data from Philadelphia, examine the social logic of violence in street-level narcotics markets.

Both draw on heavily on Collins' microsociological account of the features of social situations that tend to engender violence.
