Decentering Social Theory [EPUB ebook] 

Social theory and research has long faced the limitations of its conventional Eurocentric focus. The essays in this volume offer new thoughts and empirical studies for transcending those limitations. A continuation of PPST”s previous volume on ’Postcolonial Sociology, ’ this volume, ’Decentering Social Theory, ’ questions old categories, advances new postcolonial themes in social science, and debates alternative theoretical paradigms. The ’Scholarly Controversies’ section contains a critical exchange on ’Southern Theory’ between Raewyn Connell and Patricia Hill Collins, Mustafa Emirbayer, Raka Ray and Isaac Ariail Reed.
