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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781529221145\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44094685806842,"sku":"9781529221145","price":65.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1659115561289_book.jpg?v=1659449962","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/critical-engagement-with-public-sociology-a-perspective-from-the-global-south-9781529221145","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
