"It’s been a bad decade for politics, but a great decade for political theory. Three standouts for me were Shatema Threadcraft’s
Intimate Justice, Adom Getachew’s
Worldmaking after Empire, and Kathi Weeks’s
The Problem With Work."
---Amia Srinivasan, The Chronicle of Higher Education"[A] marvellous book . . . tracing a new narrative of the nature and significance of anti-colonial thought and politics over the middle decades of the 20th century. Challenging the standard view of decolonisation as a moment of European-style nationbuilding, Getatchew offers instead an account of anti-colonial theory and practice as "worldmaking"."
---Jonathan Egid, New Humanist"
A compelling look at how Black internationalist thought evolved throughout the postcolonial period and how its successes and failures . . . continue to shape global politics today.
