What if everything you learned about how societies work was built on a lie? Not a small fib, but a foundational deception woven into the very fabric of social science itself. Picture the standard sociology textbook: Marx analyzing capitalism, Durkheim studying social solidarity, Weber examining bureaucracy-all responding to Europe's industrial transformation. Clean. Logical. Complete. Except it isn't. These "founding fathers" weren't just observing factories and cities. They were writing during the height of European imperialism, when Western powers controlled 85% of the world's land. The colonial relationship wasn't background noise-it was the stage itself. Early sociologists justified their new "science" by contrasting "advanced" European societies with "primitive" colonized ones, using race and gender as analytical tools that reinforced imperial hierarchies. When Durkheim penned his foundational texts, French armies were conquering North Africa. The comparative method that gave sociology its scientific credibility depended entirely on viewing colonized societies through what scholars call the "imperial gaze"-a one-way flow of information from periphery to center, treating millions of people as specimens rather than knowledge creators.
