Know about the book -

Rethinking Modernity is written by Gurminder K. Bhambra and published by Springer Nature. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 3031215370 (ISBN 10) and 9783031215377 (ISBN 13).

The second edition of this influential book addresses how the experiences and claims of non-European ‘others’ have been rendered invisible to the standard narratives and analytical frameworks of sociological understandings of modernity. In challenging the dominant, Euro-centred accounts of the emergence and development of modernity, Bhambra puts forward an argument for ‘connected histories’ in the reconstruction of historical sociology at a global level. This updated version of the original, published in 2007, adds a new preface which explores key themes that Bhambra has further developed over the intervening years: specifically, how the rethinking of modernity enables us to reconstruct sociology and a call for a 'reparatory sociology' committed to the repair of the social sciences ​and the securing of global justice.
