  • a pathbreaking new work in social theory by one of the world’s leading thinkers in this area

  • seeks to unsettle the metropolitan social theories of the North by calling unrelenting attention to their unexceptional ignorance and willful disregard of what Connell calls “southern theory”

  • considers theories that have emerged from Australia, indigenous peoples, Latin America, India, Africa, Islam and other post-colonial societies, as sources of important and vital contributions to world social science

  • likely to stimulate a firestorm of debate and rethinking in social theory among social theorists

  • concise, pungent, beautifully written, and brilliantly original, this book will be a mustread for all those studying and writing about social theory
