Abstract

This review of Bhambra and Holmwood’s Colonialism and Modern Social Theory engages Chapter Six of the text, “Du Bois: Addressing the Colour Line,” as a site to contemplate broader questions about the cost of the pervasive historical erasure of the realities of colonialism and racism from the classical sociological cannon. Beyond historical description, the author thinks with the text to imagine a usable sociology toward the aim of alchemy and repair. Specifically, the author addresses the role “the classics” might play in teaching sociology in this context of such intentional redress.

对Bhambra和Holmwood的《殖民主义与现代社会理论》的回顾涉及到文本的第六章，“杜波依斯:解决肤色界限”，作为一个从古典社会学的大炮中思考殖民主义和种族主义现实的普遍历史抹去的代价的更广泛的问题。作者在历史描述之外，结合文本思考，以炼金术和修复为目的，想象一种可用的社会学。具体而言，作者论述了在这种有意纠正的背景下，“经典”在社会学教学中可能发挥的作用。
