Abstract

To begin with, consisting of five different parts and eleven chapters, the edited book handles an unheeded issue, Eurocentrism, in social sciences. The book was constituted by several articles which touch upon the subject matter from diverse angles and are written by various authors. In introductory chapter 1 Lütfi Sunar and Firdevs Bulut offer brief references to all chapter one by one after touching upon contemporary critics toward Eurocentrism. At the end of the chapter, they point out possibility of going beyond Eurocentrism by attributing it to the final chapter of the book.
