Mapping Political Sociology explores the evolving field of political sociology, offering innovative frameworks and approaches to understand its past, present, and future.Offering cutting-edge insights into political sociology, including decolonial, feminist, and anti-racist perspectives, as well as new methodologies and concepts, this book guides readers through provocative and resonant ideas that redefine the discipline. Structured in three parts – (1) Sociology frameworks and concepts: revision and recuperation; (2) Political sociology speaks to the future: crises old and new; and (3) Political sociologists: intellectual pathways and conceptual epiphanies – the contributors trace their experiences in engaging with the political that reveals overlooked approaches, their embrace of “new” objects in the discipline, revisioning through decolonial/feminist anti-racist treatment of welltrodden concepts, and the development of new lenses to revise heterodox areas.A valuable resource for both pedagogical and research purposes, the book offers an understanding of the field and engages with its most innovative and transformative approaches. It will be ideal for scholars, educators, and students of political sociology.
