| Summary |
The European social sciences tend to absorb criticism of their approach and re-label it as a part of what the critique opposes; thus criticism of European social sciences by subaltern social sciences, their 'talking back, ' has become a frequent line of reflection. The relabeling of the critique of the European approach as a critique from #x91;Southern' social sciences of #x91;Western' social sciences has in effect turned #x91;Southern' as well as #x91;Western' social sciences into competing contributors to the same #x91;globalizing' social sciences. Both are no longer arguing about the European approach to social. |
