Sommario/riassunto

This volume explores the elusive concept of ""postcolonial sociology."" It investigates the relationship between knowledge and colonial power; the sociology of race; hybridity; and the implications of postcolonial theory for global sociology. Included are brand new readings of canonical thinkers Karl Marx, Max Weber, Emile Durkheim and Robert Park.
