Jolly, Margaret2009-07-072010-12-202009-07-072010-12-20Australian Humanities Review 44 (2008): 75-991325-8338http://hdl.handle.net/10440/587In her recent book Southern Theory Raewyn Connell has challenged the domination of social theory by those in the metropoles of Europe and North America. She argues that this has entailed a view of the world from the skewed, minority perspective of the educated and the affluent, whose views are then perpetuated globally in educational curricula. The South appears in such global theories primarily as a source of data for Northern theorists rather than as sites of knowing and self-conscious social reflection, places where important social theories are also developed. Through a survey of nineteenth and twentieth-century ‘Southern theory' from Latin America, Iran, Africa, India and Indigenous Australia, Connell aspires to restore the fullness of the world to social science, to include its many voices in a more democratic global conversation.25 pageshttp://epress.anu.edu.au/faqs/faqs_copyright.html#1 "Authors are not permitted to publish works published by ANU E Press on any other web site except their personal sites or sites associated with their institutions, as long as these are non-commercial sites.
