Anticolonial Thought and the Sociological Imagination” Abstract: This lecture claims that anticolonial movements, activists and thinkers around the world offer a vital tradition of social thought that might serve as an alternative to conventional imperial sociology today. Conventional imperial sociology first emerged in dominant metropoles as a knowledge project for empire. Anticolonial thought in nineteenth and twentieth centuries, produced by a variety of writers (from indigenous activists in the Americas like Laura Cornelius Kellogg to educated elites and organic intellectuals in the colonies like Amilcar Cabral, Frantz Fanon, Mabel Dove or Apolinario Mabini), offers distinct visions of society, social relations, and social structure, along with generative approaches to the social self, social solidarity and global relations. Anticolonial thought thus offers the basis for an alternative sociological imagination that we should enlist as we seek to decolonize knowledge and produce new postcolonial sociologies.
