Anti-Colonial Global Scholarship

‘This anthology is a valuable contribution to ongoing debates on empire, colonialism and decolonisation, highlighting the importance of anticolonialism within these discussions. It engages a range of generative topics and sites, offering a much-needed set of informed perspectives to social theory.’ Priyamvada Gopal, University of Cambridge ‘This is an impressive survey of an emerging field of knowledge, as social science grapples with empire and imperialism, past and present. Invasions, resistances, racisms and forms of knowledge are examined in chapters that range from broad proposals for integrating this new field to vivid accounts of contemporary power, violence and oppression.’ Raewyn Connell, University of Sydney ‘What is the place of the anti-colonial in the wide array of both classic and more recent approaches dealing with colonial legacies? Rather than providing one answer, this rich and erudite volume offers a unique theoretical and methodological compass. It points its readers towards more than one possible path through the maze of neocolonial, post- and decolonial, inter- and postimperial approaches while grounding the search in the experiences and perspectives of the Global South.’ Manuela Boatcă, University of Freiburg
