Handbook on Politics and Society

Edited by Shireen Hassim () and Anna C. Korteweg ()

Abstract: This ground-breaking Handbook decentres theories of social and political arrangements originating from parochial histories of Europe and North America. Connecting the politics of race, class, sexuality, and gender, it provides critical perspectives on capitalism, states, and political mobilisation and adopts an interdisciplinary approach to key contemporary issues in politics and society.
