Roads to Decolonisation
Roads to Decolonisation: An Introduction to Thought from the Global South is an accessible new textbook that provides undergraduate students with a vital introduction to theory from the Global South and key issues of social justice, arming them with the tools to theorise and explain the social world away from dominant Global North perspectives. Arranged in four parts, it examines key thinkers, activists and theory-work from the Global South; theoretical concepts and socio-historical conditions associated with 'race' and racism, gender and sexuality, identity and (un)belonging in a globalised world and decolonisation and education; challenges to dominant Euro-American perspectives on key social justice issues, linking decolonial discourses to contemporary case studies. Each chapter offers an overview of key thinkers and activists whose work engages with social justice issues, many of whom are under-represented or left out of undergraduate humanities and social sciences textbooks in the North. This is essential reading for students of the humanities and social sciences worldwide, as well as scholars keen to embed Southern thought in their curricula and pedagogical practice.
Pedagogical Love in Adult Education
This volume explores the concept of pedagogical love, highlighting its role as a transformative force across diverse educational contexts, historical developments, and its integration into educational systems.

It further examines its potential in teacher education, addressing specific pedagogical domains such as second language acquisition and literacy, as well as cultural contexts spanning Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Moreover, the bo...
Sociology, Work, and Organisations
This accessible edited collection provides global context for undergraduate and postgraduate students studying the sociology of work and organisations. Composed of short, example-led chapters, this book covers a wide range of contemporary topics, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the digitalisation of work, the gig economy, and the shifting roles of women and other marginalised groups. The book’s innovative approach uses case studies as diverse as work–life balance in China, gender pay inequity in Britain and Germany, and the exploitation of workers on the Mexico–US border, to incorporate perspectives from both the Global North and South and provide students with the tools to analyse ne...
Running After Pills
Extrait de la couverture : "Contraceptives are unique for their ability to stir up trouble between men and women, old and young, and members of different national identities. As yet, however, there has been no nuanced account of the waves of change triggered by 'modern' contraception in multiple domains of African social life. This book fills that gap, broadeiing our understanding of gender, generation, power, and resistance. Many Africans reacted hostilely to the colonial introduction of the pill and the Depo-Provery injection, seeing such technologies as part of the white colonial efforts to assert both control over African women's bodies and undercut patriarchal authority over fertility and childbearing. Simultaneously, some African women welcomed these technologies as ways to increase their own bodily autonomy from husbands and in-laws. The ambiguity of these technologies (Were they means of oppression or emancipation? Did they herald 'modernity' or immorality?) generated controversies within marriages, families, and the mascent Zimbabwean nation."
