Why people recommend it
Worldmaking after Empire by Adom Getachew is a scholarly examination of anti-colonial thought and internationalism during the twentieth-century decolonization movement. On The Ezra Klein Show in an episode titled The Disastrous Relationship Between Israel, Palestinians and the U.N. released on May 17, 2024, guest Aai Shakir discussed and recommended the book. Shakir pointed out that the work returns to the era of decolonization to offer an account of how the principle of self-determination was differently understood by anti-colonial leaders. Furthermore, the guest highlighted how the book investigates the ways those historical visions might have shaped the modern global order had they ultimately prevailed. The recommendation underscored the enduring relevance of early third-world political thought and the foundational debates surrounding national sovereignty and international institutions. Through this detailed historical recovery, the author demonstrates how various non-Western leaders sought to remake the world in the wake of collapsing European empires, challenging existing hierarchies and striving for a truly egalitarian global community.
