In the face of enduring global inequalities and colonial legacies, social scientists in the Anglo-Caribbean navigate complex challenges in their research and career-making.

This book reveals how academics in the Global South negotiate these asymmetries in their daily work. Through fieldwork and interviews with senior scholars, the author explores how Anglo-Caribbean social scientists creatively work towards a regional science system. The book emphasises the creativity and collective action of scholarly communities.

This work is essential for rethinking global entanglements in academia and working towards critical perspectives on social science knowledge production.

Reviews for Colonial Legacies and Global Inequalities in the Anglo-Caribbean: Negotiating Social Knowledge Production in Research and Career-Making

'A splendid study of how social science is made in the global South, and original thinking about intellectual dependence and negotiation.' Raewyn Connell, Professor Emerita, University of Sydney 'Equipped with robust empirical fieldwork in the Anglo-Caribbean, Cramer undertakes a critical reading of Decolonial sociology focusing on the asymmetries in the circulation of knowledge.' Fernanda Beigel, CONICET (The National Scientific and Technical Research Council) and National University of Cuyo ‘A rigorous empirical analysis that becomes an original theoretical contribution for anyone interested in the production and circulation of knowledge in contexts of profound and enduring epistemic asymmetries.’ Leandro Rodriguez Medina, Metropolitan Autonomous University
