dc.description | The deconstruction of Eurocentric discourses and theories must be complemented by efforts to discover different ways of conceiving the world that we all share. I understand the current call for a “global sociology” clearly as a potent exclamation of the desire to turn sociology into a discipline that not only registers the multiplicity of voices in our current world but that, at the same time, and more importantly, wants sociology to become an arena in which those voices find expression. Seen from this perspective, postcolonial deconstruction challenges and, indeed, lays bare the Eurocentric tradition of sociology, making it receptive to other sociologies. But this needs to be followed by efforts to make those other voices heard. I sustain that this is the task of what we might call “postcolonial reconstruction.” | - |
