Anti-Colonial Solidarity: Race, Reconciliation, and MENA Liberation

Front Cover
Rowman & Littlefield, 2022 - History - 200 pages
Anti-Colonial Solidarity: Race, Reconciliation, and MENA Liberation confronts the racialization of Middle-Eastern and North African (MENA) perceived peoples from a global perspective. George N. Fourlas critiques how orientalism, racism, and colonialism co-emerged to afford the imaginary landscapes of the recently recategorized MENA. In confronting the problem of racialization, Fourlas reflects on the conditions of the possibility of a solidarity that resists the violent domination which has defined colonial power for centuries. Rather than offer a blueprint for a well-ordered society, however, Anti-Colonial Solidarity explores what is required to enact an open-ended collectivity that resists rigid universalism and prioritizes reciprocal relations with our living world. Anti-Colonialism Solidarity is a call to action to reclaim ourselves and our history from the trappings of colonial domination--back cover
