Book Talk: Postcolonial Thought and Social Theory with Julian Go

Anisa Abeytia welcomes Professor Julian Go to our Book Talk Series as he talks about his publication on 'Postcolonial Thought and Social Theory'. Dive deep into the book with the author and his thoughts behind it. Social scientists have long resisted the radical ideas known as postcolonial thought, while postcolonial scholars have critiqued the social sciences for their Euro-centric focus. However, in Postcolonial Thought and Social Theory, Julian Go attempts to reconcile the two seemingly contradictory fields by crafting a postcolonial social science. Contrary to claims that social science is incompatible with postcolonial thought, this book argues that the two are mutually beneficial, drawing upon the works of thinkers such as Franz Fanon, Amilcar Cabral, Edward Said, Homi Bhabha, and Gayatri Spivak. Go concludes with a call for a "third wave" of postcolonial thought emerging from social science and surmounting the narrow confines of disciplinary boundaries. #GRN #Academia #JulianGo ------- Follow us on social media to stay updated with the latest news of our events: Facebook:   / globalresearchnetworkearlycareer   LinkedIn:   / globalresearchnetwork   Twitter:   / globalresearchn   For more information about the Global Research Network, head to www.grn.global The Global Research Network is an active online community of academics, scholars and independent researchers from all over the world.
