This is a superb volume of wide-angle views of the history of sociology in relation to social and sociological theory, providing not only a critique of hegemonic sociology but also concrete ideas on how one can practice non-hegemonic world sociology. Distinguished scholars carefully engage with the most up-to-date debates in social theory, raising a loud voice in favor of a more decentering knowledge production.
