What was the size of the print run? If it was over about 1000 copies, then it wasn't a scholarly work but a work aimed at the masses and should be judged accordingly. Such works only sell to university libraries and a few fellow specialists. "One Nation" as a title disqualifies the work as a scholarly work. Whatever it says, and whatever method it uses, it is a political tract from the git-go. So what sociologists do or don't do simply is releveant to a work so titled.
