Worldmaking after Empire: The Rise and Fall of Self-Determination by Adom Getachew
4.0
I believe Getachew offers many profound arguments around the presence of imperialism in our modern world. While occasionally repetitive and overdone, I believe she traces the complex story of decolonizing the world.
She offers a more complex story of decolonization which we are taught in school and suggests that we are still in a process of decolonizing the world and the mind.
The epilogue was poignantly written and discusses how the United States has largely disregarded internationalism, which it created, when it doesn’t suit its needs. The consistent rejection of an equitable economic and political order is something I believe Getachew expertly highlights.
