Abstract

The review presents the work Sociology of Education, by Renato Antonio de Souza, published in 2017 by Cengage. Organized into four chapters, the book offers a concise introduction to the main issues in the field, addressing general concepts of sociology, the anthropology of education, contemporary educational models, and the modalities of formal, non-formal, and informal education, as well as their biosocial aspects. As an introductory manual, the work prioritizes synthesis and clarity, serving as an entry point for students and readers interested in the subject. Although it does not provide a systematic exposition of the thought of different sociological authors, it is distinguished by its inclusion of glossaries at the end of each chapter, a feature that facilitates the understanding and retention of the concepts presented.
