This book utilizes narratives from U.S. and Caribbean scholars to
examine the viability of sociologists changing the world from below
through sporadic interdependent networks (Piven 2008). The
conclusion reached is that in its current state, the academy can do
little to improve conditions in society, as sociologists are
themselves embattled by defeating narratives revolving around: poor
personal experiences; the recalcitrance of Old World history;
European epistemological meta-narratives, and; the
multi-paradigmatic criteria for determining sociological knowledge.
If sociologists are to finally influence society then the academy
has to first overcome its calcified European and Anglo-American
principles of domination.
