This book outlines what theory for a global age might look like, positing an
agenda for consideration, contestation and discussion, and a framework for the
research-led volumes that follow in the series. Gurmider K. Bhambra takes up the
classical concerns of sociology and social theory and shows how they are being
rethought through an engagement with postcolonial studies, one of the most
distinctive critical approaches of the past two decades. She also discusses the
significance of the research programme surrounding coloniality and modernity
that has emerged recently from Latin America.
