pdotb reviewed The New Age of Empire by Kehinde Andrews
Comprehensive and powerful
5 stars
So much here, from critiques of Enlightenment thinkers through the waves of colonialism and slavery through to the racism of modern British politics (including an eye-watering quote from Thatcher that I'd never heard before) and Brexit. Particularly thought-provoking on the way post-war social democracy was still built on exploitation of the Global South, and that different configurations of a green new deal run the risk of reproducing that.
