Description
Decolonizing Sociology: An Introduction by Ali Meghji explores how sociology was shaped by colonialism and imperialism. The discipline's commitment to these ways of thinking persists, influencing social theory and the practice of sociology today. Meghji examines how the Eurocentric sociological canon has erased social theories from the Global South, and how sociologists often ignore the relevance of coloniality in their work. This book offers key suggestions for decolonizing sociology, including curriculum reform, innovative teaching, and critical awareness of these issues. By opening up the work of other decolonial advocates and under-represented thinkers, Meghji provides a guide for students and proponents of sociology to make the discipline more equitable on a global scale.
