ABOUT
Kehinde Andrews argues that empire did not end; it merely transformed. In the book, The New Age of Empire, he shows how institutions like the IMF, World Bank, and even academia continue to reproduce the logics of colonial domination under the banner of liberal internationalism.
Drawing on a wide historical arc, Andrews links racial capitalism, imperial violence, and cultural hegemony to the ongoing exploitation of the Global South. He critiques tokenistic diversity efforts and highlights Black resistance traditions, as essential for dismantling imperial structures. This book is a fierce indictment of global systems and a call for decolonial futures.
WHO
This reference was recommended by the Bartlett Pan-African Indigenist Collective.
The Collective is a space for critical dialogue, activism, and scholarship that foregrounds Pan-African Indigenist ways of knowing, being, and creating. Formed by members of the Bartlett community dedicated to uplifting the voices, knowledge, and cultural legacies of people of African heritage and their respective Indigenous communities and lands, it aims to challenge colonial legacies and inspire transformation within institutional structures, research and curricula. By integrating creative and scholarly practices, the Collective works to restore narratives that have been silenced or misrepresented. Their work advances decolonial efforts in higher education by creating inclusive spaces and centring diverse African knowledge systems. Bartlett Alternative recognises the Collective’s vital contribution to broadening intellectual and cultural horizons through radical inclusivity and exclusivity, and thanks them for sharing resources that foreground lived experience, land-based knowledge systems, and epistemic justice.
