| book description |

This book presents Durkheim as an important political sociologist, inspired by and advocating socialism. Through a series of studies, it argues that Durkheimâ€™s normative vision, which can be called libertarian socialism, shaped his sociological critique and search for alternatives. With attention to the value of this political sociology as a means of understanding our contemporary world, the author asks us to look again at Durkheim. While Durkheimâ€™s legacy has often emphasised the supposed conservative elements and stability advocated in his thought, we can point to a different legacy, one of a radical sociology. In dialogue with the decolonial critique, this volume also asks â€˜was Durkheim white?â€™ and in doing so shows how, as a Jew, he experienced significant racialisation in his lifetime. A new reading and a vital image of a â€˜political Durkheimâ€™, The Political Durkheim will appeal to scholars and students with interests in Durkheim, social theory and political sociology.
