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

This book explores the evolution of critical engagement in South Africa and offers a Southern critique of Michael Burawoy's model of public sociology, involving four generations of researchers from the Global South.

Format: Hardback
Length: 208 pages
Publication date: 29 July 2022
Publisher: Bristol University Press


The concept of public sociology, as envisioned by Michael Burawoy, draws inspiration from the sociological practice known as 'critical engagement' prevalent in South Africa. This comprehensive volume delves into the evolution of critical engagement, both before and after Burawoy's visit to South Africa in the 1990s. It presents a Southern critique of his model of public sociology, engaging a diverse group of researchers from the Global South spanning four generations. Through their multidisciplinary exploration, the authors shed light on the processes of creating new knowledge through collaborative research practices known as co-production. By tracing the historical development of critical engagement from a Global South perspective, the book skillfully weaves a bridge between the discussions surrounding public sociology and decolonial frameworks. This insightful work contributes to our understanding of the dynamics and complexities of knowledge production in a globalized world.
