“The book is really important because what she does is develop this notion of what she calls ‘counter-hegemonic world making’. Now that might sound pretentious and academic, but actually, it’s profoundly important because she breaks away from the idea that there was one kind of globalization and that that was the dominance of neo-liberalism and that’s how the world was made. What she does, largely through looking at the struggle for African self-determination, is argue that there are other prior ideas of how a world should look like. So, the book is really criticizing the idea that this moment of de-colonial self-determination was essentially a nationalist moment.” Read more...
