Art and Guy Oakes collaborated on this unique study of one of the most important "collaborations" in 20th century sociology - the work of Hans Gerth and his student C. Wright Mills. Art and Guy Oakes review the ethical issues that emerge in any collaborative effort where two researchers and writers have conflicting goals and interests. It remains one of the great sociological assessments of the ethics any researcher and author must address when publishing materials for which he or she is hugely indebted to a long lineage of friends, teachers and mentors.For Art this analysis took on special meaning because he too was a student of Hans Gerth and was quite aware of the origin of many of the sociological ideas that emerged in the Post Worlld War II era. Attribution of sources and recognition of indebtedness are at the heart of this analysis.
