Kehinde Andrews shines a light on the truth of our past and in
doing so lights the way forward. Essential reading
*Owen Jones*
An uncompromising account of the roots of racism today
*Kimberlé Crenshaw*
Skillfully interweaving economics, politics, and history to debunk
popular narratives of social progress, this searing takedown hits
home
*Publisher's Weekly*
Kehinde Andrews is a crucial voice walking in a proud tradition of
Black radical criticism and action
*Akala*
This book is a provocation. It is not meant to make us comfortable
or inspired, but rather to remind us of the hard truth that the
West was built on slavery, genocide, and colonialism-the bases of
racial capitalism and modern empire. And as Kehinde Andrews argues,
we are still living this imperial nightmare, still reaping the
consequences of contemporary racialized violence and exploitation.
The lesson: no freedom under racism, no future under capitalism, no
justice without decolonization.
*Robin Kelley*
Professor Andrews takes the reader on a journey, and it isn't a
comfortable one. I challenge you to pick up this book and read it
carefully, once that is done, I am sure the reader will be
challenged, in thinking and hopefully actions moving forward.
*Dawn Butler*
This book is a radical, necessary indictment of the racist
structures that produced the current anti-Black world order.
Historically rigorous and deeply researched, Kehinde Andrews writes
with lucidity about the global tactics of Western imperialism,
centuries ago and at present. His clear-eyed analysis insists upon
the revolutionary acts of freedom we will need to break out of
these systems of violence
*Ibram X. Kendi*
Professor Andrews never misses. And this is a compelling account of
European Empires and the cost of their plunder
*Nikesh Shukla*
Uncompromising and intelligent. Kehinde is taking the conversation
deeper and further - exactly where it needs to go.
*Jeffrey Boakye*
Destined to serve as a kind of primary text for a new generation of
students of antiracism looking to get to grips with the violence of
our imperial inheritance
*The Observer*
