Audrey Alejandro is Assistant Professor at the Department of Methodology, London School of Economics and Political Science.
"The book’s demonstration is fascinating and bolstered by a clear
prose. It persuasively uses an impressive range of empirical data
such as statistics on publications, academic CVs, academic
promotion criteria, and interviews. It is also remarkable in its
continuous deployment of a theoretical apparatus that taps into
anthro-pology, sociology, and critical studies." - Benjamin
Chemouni, University of Cambridge"Alejandro’s book is both
methodologically rigorous and intellectually challenging, providing
a powerful critique of the emerging Global IR literature...a highly
thought-provoking book, which challenges critical IR scholars to
re-embrace methodological rigour and continue to question their
foundational assumptions." - Farai Chipato, Cambridge Review of
International Affairs, 2020"…….what Alejandro stresses throughout
her book is that ‘we [need] to act upon something that we can
actually change,’ and that ‘something’ is practice, our
institutional practices. This would be the challenge ahead of us in
the Global South when it comes to overcoming ‘Western domination’:
overcoming our own limitations and prejudices. Alejandro’s book is
a sound contribution to that challenge and a must-read for all
Brazilian scholars who dare to walk that path." - Hugo Arend,
