More about the book

Challenging Euro-centric narratives, this influential work highlights the invisibility of non-European perspectives in sociological discussions of modernity. Bhambra advocates for 'connected histories' to enrich historical sociology globally. The second edition includes a new preface that elaborates on key themes, emphasizing the need to rethink modernity to reconstruct sociology. It also calls for a 'reparatory sociology' aimed at repairing social sciences and promoting global justice, reflecting Bhambra's evolved insights since the original 2007 publication.
