Journal Article
Historical Sociology, Modernity, and Postcolonial Critique
2011
Overview
Bhambra assesses four developments in sociology and history that take into account the world beyond the West in the understandings of modernity: third wave cultural historical sociology, multiple modernities, microhistories, and global history. Among other things, third wave cultural historical sociology is defined by its attempts to historicize understandings of modernity, that is, to examine the diverse, complex histories that are regarded as embodying and constituting modern transformations. There is an explicit move away from earlier forms of historical sociology, which were concerned with issues of causal explanation, to, as Julia Adams, Elisabeth S. Clemens, and Ann Shola Orloff suggest, a more \"genealogical\" project \"associated with the formation of historically evolving cultural categories and practices.\" In this way, third wave cultural historical sociology merges with cultural history. It offers up a diversity of now-disaggregated histories in which Eurocentric history is decentered, but the more difficult issues associated with the grand narratives of (European) modernity are not addressed.
