This book is the first comprehensive account of the history and
current state of South African sociology. Providing a holistic
picture of the subject both as it is taught in universities and as
a field of research, it reveals the trajectories of a discipline in
a challenging socio-political context. With the support of
historical and scientometric data, it demonstrates how the changing
political situation, from colonialism to apartheid to democracy,
has influenced the nature, direction and foci of sociological
research in the country. The author shows how, during the apartheid
era, sociology was professionally fragmented and divided along
language and race lines. It was, however, able to flourish with the
advent of democracy in 1994 and has become a unique academic
movement. This insightful work will appeal to students and scholars
of the social sciences, and all those interested in the history and
society of South Africa.
