Geopolitics and Decolonization offers a timely contribution to contemporary critical scholarship interested in fields such as international relations, law, human rights, political philosophy, and development studies. A collective work of excellent scholarship, it addresses ideas, developments and concerns from the Global South, which are otherwise largely ignored, however crucial to our understanding of our pluriversal world.
- Julia Suárez-Krabbe, Associate Professor of Culture and Identity, Roskilde University, Denmark,
This cutting edge collection of well known scholars and creative young people is a must read for anyone interested in decolonization, socialist futures, and ingenious philosophy. The collection brings together exciting new thinkers from the Global South enhancing South-South dialogue and making a major contribution to the shift of geographies of reason.
- Drucilla Cornell, Professor of Political Science, Comparative Literature, and Women and Gender Studies, Rutgers University,
Bragato and Gordon assemble here a stunningly diverse and powerful set of essays, each of which simultaneously poses the question regarding what it means to decolonize those whose humanity has long being denied, and in response persuasively reflects on the requisite challenge of expanding our conceptual reach into the domains of thought and action that such a process necessarily confronts.
- Lyn Ossome, Senior Research Fellow, Makerere Institute of Social Reseach,
This series, published in partnership with the Caribbean Philosophical Association, turns the lens on the unfolding nature and potential future shape of the globe by taking concepts and ideas that while originating out of very specific contexts share features that lend them transnational utility. Works in the series engage with figures including Frantz Fanon, CLR James, Paulo Freire, Aimé Césaire, Édouard Glissant and Walter Rodney, and concepts such as coloniality, creolization, decoloniality, double consciousness and "la facultad".
Series Editors: Lewis R. Gordon and Jane Anna Gordon
