The revelation that the U.S. Department of Defense had hired anthropologists for its Human Terrain System Project to assist its operations in Afghanistan and Iraq caused an uproar in academia. That has obscured the participation of sociologists in similar Pentagon-funded projects. As the contributors to Sociology and Empire show, such affiliations are not new: sociologists have been active as advisers, theorists, and analysts of Western imperialism for more than a century. The collection has a three-fold agenda: to provide an intellectual history of sociology as it pertains to empire; to offer empirical studies based around colonies and empires, both past and present; and to provide a theoretical basis for future sociological analyses that may take empire more fully into account. In the 1940s, the British Colonial Office began employing "government sociologists" in its African colonies. In Nazi Germany, sociologists played a leading role in organizing the occupation of Eastern Europe. In the United States, sociology contributed to modernization theory, which served as an informal blueprint for the post-war American empire. This comprehensive anthology critiques sociology's disciplinary engagement with colonialism in varied settings, while also highlighting the lasting contributions that sociologists have made to the theory and history of imperialism.

其实只读了头、尾和中间的三章，但不准备继续读下去了。对于对帝国感兴趣的人，这是一本好书，而且具有开创性意义，因为社会学对帝国的兴趣才刚刚开始（或复兴），本书可视为一份宣言。另，封面大赞！杜克大学出版社并不是最好的出版社，但它们的排版和装帧设计往往很棒！
