This handbook unravels the complexities of the global and local
entanglements of race, gender and intersectionality within racial
capitalism in times of #MeToo, #BlackLivesMatter, the Chilean
uprising, Anti-Muslim racism, backlash against trans and queer
politics, and global struggles against modern colonial femicide and
extractivism. Contributors chart intersectional and decolonial
perspectives on race and gender research across North America,
Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean, and South Africa, centering
theoretical understandings of how these categories are imbricated
and how they operate and mean individually and together. This book
offers new ways to think about what is absent/present and why, how
erasure works in historical and contemporary theoretical accounts
of the complexity of lived experiences of race and gender, and how,
as new issues arise, intersectionalities (re)emerge in the politics
of race and gender. This handbook will be of interest to students
and scholars across the social sciences and humanities.
Domestic and care work in private households is now the largest
employment sector for migrant women. This book sheds light on these
households through its focus on the interpersonal relationships
between Latin American "undocumented migrant" domestic workers and
employers in Austria, Germany, Spain and the UK. The personal
experiences of these women form the basis for Gutierrez-Rodriguez's
decolonial analysis of the feminization of labor in private
households and cultural analysis of domestic work as affective
labor. This book will be a necessary voice in the debates on
citizenship, cosmopolitanism, and migrant workers' rights.

Decolonizing European Sociology builds on the work challenging the
androcentric, colonial and ethnocentric perspectives eminent in
mainstream European sociology by identifying and describing the
processes at work in its current critical transformation. Divided
into sections organized around themes like modernity, border
epistemology, migration and 'the South', this book considers the
self-definition and basic concepts of social sciences through an
assessment of the new theoretical developments, such as
postcolonial theory and subaltern studies, and whether they can be
described as the decolonization of the discipline. With
contributions from a truly international team of leading social
scientists, this volume constitutes a unique and tightly focused
exploration of the challenges presented by the decolonization of
the discipline of sociology.
