Book Synopsis

Scholars from various disciplines explore how, two decades after Aimé Césaire spoke of the imperial boomerang, Edward Said’s Orientalism represented the beginnings of his attempts to appropriate the boomerang’s recursive nature and empower decolonial processes that would transform everyone, for the betterment of all.



Trade Review

“Just as Orientalism spurred further anti-Orientalist research, The Boomerang Effect of Decolonization encourages further engagement with decolonial epistemology and praxis in which the politics of identity sustain an inclusive, not assimilative, discourse of allyship that is neither purist nor exclusivist.” Eid Mohamed, Doha Institute for Graduate Studies and author of Arab Occidentalism: Images of America in the Middle East
