Full Description
This ground-breaking Handbook decentres theories of social and political arrangements originating from parochial histories of Europe and North America. It provides critical perspectives on capitalism, states, and political mobilisation, adopting an interdisciplinary approach to key contemporary issues in politics and society.
Chapters address decolonial notions of scholarship that build on alternative conceptualizations of political and social practices. Authors explore a range of topics: post-socialist economies and social reproduction; sex testing in sports; black beauty and blackness in a black majority world; conceptualizations of land, property, and extraction through an Indigenous lens; the geopolitics of cities; #meToo in India; queer and labour politics of migration; the non-end of marriage; human rights to care; and gendered, raced, and classed articulations of violence, before turning to rethinking futures. Including insights from Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Europe, the Handbook connects the politics of race, class, sexuality, and gender
The Handbook on Politics and Society is an invaluable resource for students and academics in international political science and political sociology. Researchers, policymakers, and practitioners in politics and anthropology will also benefit from its forward-thinking insights.
