{"product_id":"9781529221152","title":"Critical Engagement with Public Sociology : A Perspective from the Global South by Sonwabile Mnwana","description":"The idea of public sociology, as introduced by Michael Burawoy, was inspired by the sociological practice in South Africa known as `critical engagement'. This volume explores the evolution of critical engagement before and after Burawoy's visit to South Africa in the 1990s and offers a Southern critique of his model of public sociology.   Involving four generations of researchers from the Global South, the authors provide a multifaceted exploration of the formation of new knowledge through research practices of co-production.   Tracing the historical development of `critical engagement' from a Global South perspective, the book deftly weaves a bridge between the debates on public sociology and decolonial frameworks.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56302836187509,"sku":"9781529221152","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781529221152.jpg?v=1762793394","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781529221152","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
