| dc.description | The aim of this book is to explore the ways in which, as sociological theory has developed, certain theorists have come to be seen as sociological insiders whereas others have stayed on the peripheries or outside the discipline. The book explores the ways in which insiders often may not see themselves as insiders. For example, the classical theorists hardly saw themselves as sociologists, yet they are viewed as founding fathers of the discipline. Why is this so? Although I recognize that there are many reasons why theorists are included or excluded from social theory, the particular aim of this book is to explore whysome theorists have been excluded from the canon because they are black or female (or both) and because their social theories included an analysis of race and gender.2 From the outset, the exclusion from the canon of those writing from the position of the racial and gendered ‘other’ and those writing social theories around issues of race and gender are explored. Although accounts of the development of sociological theory have been concerned with inequality and power, this has been mostly in relation to social class, not race or gender. Consequently, many authors have been excluded from the sociological canon. | - |
