Decolonizing Sociology
Sociology was institutionalized as a discipline at the height of global colonialism and imperialism. It analyses how sociology was integral in reproducing the colonial order, as dominant sociologists constructed theories either assuming or proving the supposed barbarity and backwardness of colonized people. Over a century later, sociology is yet to shake off its commitment to a colonial logic.This book explores why, and how, sociology needs to be decolonized.
Ali Meghji reveals how colonialism continues to shape the discipline today, dominating both social theory and the practice of sociology, how exporting the Eurocentric sociological canon erased social theories from the Global South, and how sociologists continue to ignore the relevance of coloniality in their work.This critique and guide will be necessary reading for any student or proponent of sociology.
