 ore\n\n“Ibn Khaldun and Autonomous Knowledge Production”\n\n \n\nIn order 
 for theory to be relevant to the Third World/Periphery/South it needs to b
 e challenged. The nature of that challenge is the deparochialisation of th
 eory. The discipline of sociology and other social sciences have been slow
  to do this. Recently\, however\, there have been efforts to address the p
 roblem by way of the critique of canons and foundational theories of the d
 iscipline. This paper is a contribution in the direction of such critique 
 to render the disciplines less parochial. This paper is divided into three
  parts. First it introduces the theme of silencing that manifests itself i
 n the recounting of the voyages of discovery that began mere decades after
  the death of Ibn Khaldun. The paper then turns to the reconstruction of K
 haldunian theory in the context of modern historical and area studies. The
  idea here is to provide a structure that may be used to construct social 
 theory from the works of those thinkers from the South that are considered
  to be potential sources of alternative\, non-Eurocentric theory. The thin
 ker under consideration here is Ibn Khaldun. The paper ends with a discuss
 ion on autonomous knowledge as a more productive and critical way of think
 ing about knowledge production as opposed to the decolonization of knowled
 ge. Ibn Khaldun is seen to be relevant to the challenge of hegemonic orien
 tations other than Eurocentrism.\n
