This volume explores the challenges posed to sociological theory and social science research by a growing need to foreground perspectives stemming from, and accounting for, subaltern groups, marginal categories, the Global South and other politically peripheral regions. The book radically questions some of the most enduring assumptions within sociological thought and social science research and illustrates the impacts of de-centering critical concepts on public policy and education. It proposes new places to build social theory, beyond Europe and the United States, offering debates on the present and future of the social sciences. This peripheral turn also has impacts on the development of pedagogical practices, curricula, and educational research that are more inclusive, and in a position to promote global citizenship. This book will be a valuable resource for researchers and academics with an interest in global social theory, decolonial and postcolonial studies, political theory, feminism, critical race theory, economic sociology, inequality studies, urban sociology, and sociology of work, religion, and education. It will be of particular interest to those with a focus on citizenship, social policy, social integration and solidarity, as well as new perspectives on multicultural education--
