Description
Postcolonial Thought and Social Theory by Julian Go explores the relationship between two distinct bodies of thought: postcolonial thought and social theory. Emerging from anticolonial revolutions, postcolonial thought has become an enterprise in the academic humanities, while social theory was born as an intellectual justification for empire. The book charts how postcolonial thinkers pose a radical epistemic challenge to social theory, asking how their ideas can be reconciled with established disciplines. It also excavates the often hidden sociological assumptions of postcolonial thought and argues that these two fields are mutually beneficial. By reframing social theory in light of postcolonial thought, this book offers a new perspective on how to address issues of power, identity, and inequality. Julian Go's work provides a nuanced understanding of the intersections between postcolonial thought and social science, shedding light on the possibilities for a more inclusive and equitable approach to understanding society.
