| Summary: | [...] sociology in the world is dominated by Western (North American and European, or in short "Euroamerican") sociology, which in itself is bad for the discipline. [...] there are some alternative, indigenous sociologies outside of the United States and Europe, which are highly valuable, and suppressed or entirely excluded by the American and European hegemony. [...] it would be megalomaniacal to beUeve that this huge humanistic aspiration could be achieved by sociologists, mostly the "powerless elite." [...] quite properly these volumes are more humble; they are about internal inequatity and domination in the discipline of sociology, treated as a reflection of those more fundamental external divisions in our globalized society. |
