This book presents Durkheim as an important political sociologist,
inspired by and advocating socialism. Through a series of studies,
it argues that Durkheim's normative vision, which can be called
libertarian socialism, shaped his sociological critique and search
for alternatives. With attention to the value of this political
sociology as a means of understanding our contemporary world, the
author asks us to look again at Durkheim. While Durkheim's legacy
has often emphasised the supposed conservative elements and
stability advocated in his thought, we can point to a different
legacy, one of a radical sociology. In dialogue with the decolonial
critique, this volume also asks 'was Durkheim white?' and in doing
so shows how, as a Jew, he experienced significant racialisation in
his lifetime. A new reading and a vital image of a 'political
Durkheim', The Political Durkheim will appeal to scholars and
students with interests in Durkheim, social theory and political
sociology.
