The volume addresses three myths tied to Eurocentric forms of thinking: objectivist and universalist knowledges, the decolonization of the modern world, and developmentalism. All three myths, the authors argue, conceal the continued hierarchical and unequal relations of domination and exploitation between European and Euro-American centers and non-European peripheral regions. In this volume, world-system scholars address these and related aspects of the modern\/colonial capitalist world-system. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAddressing the myth of universalist knowledge, the volume reminds us that our knowledge is situated in the gender, class, racial, and sexual hierarchies of a specific region in the world-system, while the coloniality of power additionally situates our knowledge. The volume further argues that the postcolonial era retains the hierarchy of colonialism, and the possibility of national development without global structural changes is one of the greatest 20th-century myths. Taking these perspectives into consideration, the contributors examine and help to refine classic world-system theory.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRAMÓN GROSFOGUEL is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Boston College. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eANA MARGARITA CERVANTES-RODRÍGUEZ is Research Affiliate for the Center for Social and Demographic Analysis, Latin American and Caribbean Studies Department, at SUNY-Albany.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 352\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.02 x 9.68 x 6.18 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 30, 2002\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47506813386930,"sku":"9780275971977","price":84.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/teemY6wcrH9780275971977.webp?v=1779563899","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/the-modern-colonial-capitalist-world-system-in-the-twentieth-century-global-processes-antisystemic-movements-and-the-geopolitics-of-knowledge-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
