Worldmaking After Empire: The Rise and Fall of Self-Determination
Speaker: Adom Getachew
Getachew is a political theorist at the University of Chicago. She will speak to the themes of her monograph Worldmaking After Empire: The Rise and Fall of Self-Determination, which reconstructs an account of self-determination offered in the political thought of Black Atlantic anticolonial nationalists during the height of decolonization in the twentieth century.
Watch the seminar:
The Other Universals consortium will be hosting a series of webinars over the next few months. These talks will draw on political and aesthetic archives of emancipatory projects of the global south. They will examine radical traditions and ideas of expansive citizenship that have emerged in the colonial and postcolonial modern. Particular focus will be on idioms of difference, which define insider and outsider, majority and minority, how these emerged, were negotiated and transcended.
