Description

Neglected Social Theorists of Color: Deconstructing the Margins provides a novel contribution to the ongoing debates concerning the canon in contemporary sociological theory.

In particular, the editors argue that many scholars whose work may hold significant potential for contributions to contemporary debates in social theory go unrecognized.

Still others, while not completely ignored, have fallen victim to a cultural and political climate not receptive to their work.

Feminist scholars have been in the forefront of these debates, arguing that many insightful social theorists have been marginalized because of their gender.

More recently, studies of individual theorists of color have appeared, but these have been limited to African American scholars such as W.E.B.

Du Bois. In the present text, the editors extend this approach to include a broad diversity of theorists of color, including those of African American, Afro-Caribbean, Latinx, Asian, Asian American, and Native American backgrounds.

In addition, the editors also include the work of authors who come from academic fields outside of sociology and others who are journalists, activists, or independent writers.

The work has a unique format, where the authors of each chapter provide a theoretical analysis of their subject and a discussion of the contemporary significance of their work, lending to a rich discussion of underappreciated sociological scholars.
