Introduction -- Part I: Intimations of Postcoloniality -- Chapter 1: Postcoloniality and Sociology -- Chapter 2: Postcoloniality and Decoloniality -- Part II: Intimations of Globality -- Chapter 3: Globality and Sociology -- Chapter 4: Globality and Connectivity -- Part III: Intimations of Canonicity -- Chapter 5: Canonicity and Sociology -- Chapter 6: Canonicity and Exclusivity -- Part IV: Intimations of Historicity -- Chapter 7: Historicity and Sociology -- Chapter 8: Historicity and Novelty -- Part V: Intimations of Disciplinarity -- Chapter 9: Disciplinarity and Sociology -- Chapter 10: Disciplinarity and Interdisciplinarity -- Part VI: Intimations of Hegemony -- Chapter 11: Hegemony and Sociology -- Chapter 12: Hegemony and Counterhegemony -- Part VII: Intimations of Reflexivity -- Epilogue: Critical Remarks -- Conclusion.

"A comprehensive and judicious account of the intellectual and material state of sociology, based on omnivorous reading and incisive analysis. The writing is beautifully clear and the book is a major contribution to the self-understanding of the discipline." -- William Outhwaite, Professor of Sociology at Newcastle University, UK This book examines key trends, debates, and challenges in twenty-first-century sociology. To this end, it focuses on significant issues surrounding the nature of sociology ('What is sociology?'), the history of sociology ('How has sociology evolved?'), and the study of sociology ('How can or should we make sense of sociology?') These issues have been, and will continue to be, essential to the creation of conceptually informed, methodologically rigorous, and empirically substantiated research programmes in the discipline. Over the past years, however, there have been numerous disputes and controversies concerning the future of sociology. Particularly important in this respect are recent and ongoing discussions on the possibilities of developing new - and, arguably, post-classical - forms of sociology. The central assumption underlying most of these projects is the contention that a comprehensive analysis of the principal challenges faced by global society requires the construction of a sociology capable of accounting for the interconnectedness of social actors and social structures across time and space. This book provides a cutting-edge overview of crucial past, present, and possible future trends, debates, and challenges shaping the pursuit of sociological inquiry.
