Overview

Arguing for the idea of connected histories, Bhambra presents a fundamental reconstruction of the idea of modernity in contemporary sociology. She criticizes the abstraction of European modernity from its colonial context and the way non-Western ""others"" are disregarded. It aims to establish a dialogue in which ""others"" can speak and be heard.
