'Bhambra admirably unpacks prevailing narratives of modernity and Europe, while proposing the use of 'connected histories' to improve contemporary sociology' - Sociology

Reseña del editor:

Arguing for the idea of connected histories, Bhambra presents a fundamental reconstruction of the idea of modernity in contemporary sociology. She criticizes the abstraction of European modernity from its colonial context and the way non-Western 'others' are disregarded. It aims to establish a dialogue in which 'others' can speak and be heard.
