Description

Immanuel Wallerstein's work has had a profound impact on social thought worldwide. This comprehensive collection of essays brings together his full range of scholarship for the first time, offering a unique overview of his development as a thinker. From his groundbreaking research on contemporary African politics and social change to his study of the modern world-system and current essays on the new structures of knowledge emerging from the crisis of the capitalist world-economy, Wallerstein's singular focus on how change in one part of the globe affects the whole remains remarkably relevant. This collection is an ideal introduction to his extensive body of work, which has helped introduce globally sensitive thinking to the field of social science. This first volume in a series of Readers brings together the key works of major figures in the social sciences, making it an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding Wallerstein's influential ideas.
