1. Worldmaking After Empire
The Rise and Fall of Self-Determination
This insightful work delves into the intellectual and political endeavors of postcolonial leaders in Africa and the Caribbean as they sought to reshape the global order following the decline of European empires. It examines how these leaders, through the lens of anticolonial nationalism, envisioned a world where newly independent states could thrive in a cooperative international community. By exploring the ideas and actions of figures like Kwame Nkrumah and Eric Williams, the book highlights the challenges and aspirations of creating a new world order that emphasized equality, self-determination, and economic justice.
