This crucial Handbook explores the ways in which sociology confronts the enduring legacies of colonialism and empire. Presenting the first comprehensive sociological overview of anticolonial, decolonial and postcolonial approaches, Jyoti Puri and Vrushali Patil reject Eurocentric frameworks and foreground the contributions of scholars from the Global South.
Written in an accessible and engaging manner, this Handbook examines the various forms colonialism has taken, including settler colonialism, enslavement and imperial rule, demonstrating how these legacies continue to shape sociological knowledge globally. Chapters emphasise the essential role of feminist, Indigenous, intersectional, queer and transnational perspectives in deepening our understanding of colonialism. Exploring topics such as racialisation, decolonial genetics and caste as an orientalist construct, each chapter presents new and critical approaches to reimagining the disciplineâs past and future.
This Handbook is an invaluable resource for scholars and students of sociology, politics and public policy, development studies, epistemology and allied social sciences. Its interdisciplinary insights make it essential reading for those interested in feminist studies, Indigenous studies and intersectionality.
