Synopsis: This book examines the contested meanings of globalisation – moving beyond the conventional distinctions between the global and the local, the universal and the particular, the East and the West – to assess how social knowledge is being made and re-made along more critical trajectories.  Other essays offer striking accounts of how significant actors have framed a range of worldviews: colonial cosmopolitans, organic intellectuals, state elites, indigenous communities, rural women, pop culture audiences, filmmakers, novelists, students of Islam and political activists. In doing so the authors present a critical genealogy of social-scientific and related forms of knowledge, of the social world.  Social Science and Knowledge in a Globalising World will be essential reading for students and general readers of anthropology, contemporary history, cultural studies, development studies, politics, religious studies and social theory. This book is birthed by a transnational cast of  multidisciplinary thinkers engages with how others have conceived and created knowledge of the social world, from the late colonial period through to the contemporary era. These include : Syed Muhd Khairudin Aljunied, Benedict Anderson, Ien Ang, Harry Aveling, Chua Beng Huat, Hans-Dieter Evers, Sharmani Patricia Gabriel, Solvay Gerke, Goh Beng Lan, Christopher M.
