Decolonization Revolutionized The International Order During The Twentieth Century. Yet Standard Histories That Present The End Of Colonialism As An Inevitable Transition From A World Of Empires To One Of Nationsa World In Which Selfdetermination Was Synonymous With Nationbuildingobscure Just How Radical This Change Was. Drawing On The Political Thought Of Anticolonial Intellectuals And Statesmen Such As Nnamdi Azikiwe, W.E.B Du Bois, George Padmore, Kwame Nkrumah, Eric Williams, Michael Manley, And Julius Nyerere, This Important New Account Of Decolonization Reveals The Full Extent Of Their Unprecedented Ambition To Remake Not Only Nations But The World.Adom Getachew Shows That African, African American, And Caribbean Anticolonial Nationalists Were Not Solely Or Even Primarily Nationbuilders. Responding To The Experience Of Racialized Sovereign Inequality, Dramatized By Interwar Ethiopia And Liberia, Black Atlantic Thinkers And Politicians Challenged International Racial Hierarchy And Articulated Alternative Visions Of Worldmaking. Seeking To Create An Egalitarian Postimperial World, They Attempted To Transcend Legal, Political, And Economic Hierarchies By Securing A Right To Selfdetermination Within The Newly Founded United Nations, Constituting Regional Federations In Africa And The Caribbean, And Creating The New International Economic Order.Using Archival Sources From Barbados, Trinidad, Ghana, Switzerland, And The United Kingdom, Worldmaking After Empire Recasts The History Of Decolonization, Reconsiders The Failure Of Anticolonial Nationalism, And Offers A New Perspective On Debates About Todays International Order.
