Critical Engagement with Public Sociology: A Perspective from the Global South

English

The idea of public sociology, as introduced by Michael Burawoy, was inspired by the sociological practice in South Africa known as critical engagement. This volume explores the evolution of critical engagement before and after Burawoys visit to South Africa in the 1990s and offers a Southern critique of his model of public sociology.

Involving four generations of researchers from the Global South, the authors provide a multifaceted exploration of the formation of new knowledge through research practices of co-production.

Tracing the historical development of critical engagement from a Global South perspective, the book deftly weaves a bridge between the debates on public sociology and decolonial frameworks.
