David Lehmann is Emeritus Reader in Social Science at the University of Cambridge.
"‘In After the Decolonial, David Lehmann convincingly argues that Latin American social movements and societal transformations such as the rise of Protestantism must be viewed through a lens that examines not only race but also class, gender and ethnicity. His polemic, which emphatically rejects the emphasis by decolonial scholars on race and cultural alterity, draws on a broad array of Latin American scholars to construct a case for an intersectional perspective based on close ethnographic examination. Some may agree with Lehmann, others might strongly disagree, but all will find food for thought and debate in this wide-ranging and lucid book.’ Joanne Rappaport, Georgetown University, past President, Latin American Studies Association ""[A] thoroughly engaging and provocative book"" International Journal of Politics, Culture, and Society"
