Black Reflective Sociology

John H. Stanfield II the leading contemporary Black sociologist of knowledge distills decades of his research and thinking in a set of articles--some original to the volume others from fugitive sources--that address race in the formation of epistemologies theories and methodologies in social science. Stanfield's contributions to the discipline such as the adoption of restorative justice as an anti-racism solution in multiracial societies and the development of African diasporic sociological reasoning are highlighted here. Ranging widely across theoretical methodological and substantive topics Stanfield creates a reflective sociology viewed through an African diasporic lens that enriches the thinking and practice of social science.
