Book reviews for International Sociology
Call for reviews
The launching of two bi-annual issues of International Sociology - Review of Books is no less than a bid to rekindle the sociological imagination by proclaiming that sociology as a science is "going global." How social processes can be explicated under widely different political, economic, and historical conditions is understandably a burning theoretical and practical concern in a world where the free movement of people, goods, and techniques has become a cliché.
The proposed journal issues will prove an opportunity to examine whether, and in what way, perspectives on sociology as a science and on human experiences of the social are shaped by geography, i.e., by structures and world-views developed in different areas of the planet. Implicitly, ISRB represents an appreciation of the fact that the discipline is being enriched by the accruing insights of professionals whose expertise is modulated by distinctive experiences of society.
In these journal issues, therefore, work produced in languages other than English will be highlighted. In the meantime, however, materials submitted to ISRB will be written in English, with abstracts of review articles in French and Spanish. To encourage the realization of the goals of the ISRB, the editor will relate to both solicited and unsolicited contributions. Our mandate is detailed below.
Please follow the guidelines for submitting reviews.
