Insurgent Empire: Anticolonial Resistance and British Dissent by Priyamvada Gopal
5.0
feels kinda dumb to rate this as it’s less a book than an insanely huge seminal collation of hidden archives of anti-colonial activity and organising....? and also would DEFINITELY not recommend reading cover to cover lol it’s informationally dense so kinda not a “book” in how good reads functions with “books” ??
but what can I say it really is an essential read, the whole point of the book is to help us un/relearn the history of resistance to colonialism and for that you have to actually comprehensively delve into the accounts and textual analysis presented here. heavy but invaluable !
