Throughout the book, Bhambra employs intext citations to support her arguments and engage with relevant literature. For example, she critiques the notion of a singular trajectory of modernization, citing recent scholarship that emphasizes the diversity of contemporary societies (p. 69). Drawing upon the work of postcolonial theorists, she lays “reparatory sociology” to repair both the social sciences and to address the global inequalities (implicitly), persuading readers to rethink their historical understanding of the past and present (p. viii).
