Reviews

This book presents a fresh perspective on the interface between sociology as a discipline and its other-modernity. After interrogating substantive (from modernisation, development and multiple modernities to dependency, underdevelopment and world system analysis) and epistemological positions (indigeneity, autonomous knowledge and decolonisation) Gurminder Bhambra presents a novel argument that connected sociologies is the methodological trope that can and should exemplify global sociology. A must read for everyone interested in the discipline and its future and in the theories of modernity . Sujata Patel, Professor at the Department of Sociology, University of Hyderabad, India
