Reimagines how race, ethnicity, imperialism, and colonialism can be
central to social science research and methods There is a growing
consensus that the discipline of sociology and the social sciences
broadly need to engage more thoroughly with the legacy and the
present day of colonialism, Indigenous/settler colonialism,
imperialism, and racial capitalism in the United States and
globally. In Disciplinary Futures, a cross-section of scholars
comes together to engage sociology and the social sciences by way
of these paradigms, particularly from the influence of disciplines
of American, Ethnic, and Indigenous Studies. With original essays
from scholars such as Yen Le Espiritu, Sunaina Maira, Hokulani K.
Aikau, Salvador Vidal-Ortiz, Ben Carrington, Yvonne Sherwood, and
Gilda L. Ochoa, among others, Disciplinary Futures offers concrete
pathways for how the social sciences can expand from the limiting
frameworks they traditionally use to study race and racism, namely:
the black-white binary, the privileging of the nation-state, the
fixation on the US mainland, the underappreciation of post- and
settler-colonial studies, the liberal assumptions, and the limited
conception of what constitutes data. In turn, the contributors
reveal that sociology has many useful questions, methodologies, and
approaches to offer scholars of American, Ethnic, and Indigenous
Studies. Disciplinary Futuresis an important work, one which
renders these disciplines more intellectually expansive and thus
better able to tackle urgent issues of injustice.
