Abstract
Elements of nationality constrain our sociological thinking much more than is frequently recognized. Nowhere is this clearer than in the publishing enterprise, where the sheer volume of literature produced in numerous countries is further compounded by global linguistic plurality which makes it increasingly difficult to keep abreast of sociological research done in other nations. I Yet ethnocentrism threatens sociology when exposure to sociological literature is encompassed or blocked by national boundaries. In a recent article (Hiller, b), I demonstrated how sociology as a discipline varies with the nation-state in which it is practiced and how the dimensions of nationality continue to shape the contours of sociology. I want to show here how the book publishing industry reflects and accentuates national forces as an important contextual factor in sociological work.
