Over the course of more than seventy years, students of symbolic interactionism have demonstrated how a resourceful and conceptually rich perspective can generate variegated lines of research. Such research has consistently demonstrated the usefulness and vitality of the interactionist theoretical framework. However, many have expressed concerns over the sheer wealth and quantity of "lines of research." Those expressing concern have maintained that the riches of lines of research have promoted a type of "chaos" that lacks a cohesive focus on the fundamentaL issues, processes, and concepts that define the essence of symbolic interactionism. Regarding potential theoretical confusion as to a concise and substantial vision of symbolic interactionism, the late David Maines called for a forum in which symbolic interactionists define and describe the different lines of research they advocate.

To answer Maines' call, this volume, Essential Issues in Symbolic Interaction, serves as a forum for symbolic interactionists to demonstrate how/why their respective lines of research contribute to the quality and substance of symbolic interactionism. Authors advocate their lines of research, the historical development, the importance as well as the prospects of their lines of research.
