Abstract

In this email debate we discuss the relation between postcolonialism and sociology and the impact the new field has on engagement with public causes and current policies. While post- and decolonial approaches had a significant impact on the humanities, reception in sociology has been more reluctant. The reasons for this difference as well as recent connections between postcolonial thought and sociology are discussed against the background of the perceived opposition between scientific objectivity and political activism.
