The Anticolonial Impulse

​​How does anticolonial thought constitute a resource for critique today? The articles in this special issue uncover not only the possibilities latent in anticolonialism but also its relevance to contemporary political struggle. The issue sets canonical figures such as Gandhi and Fanon alongside the theoretical insights of a range of less well-known thinkers including Palestinian and Lebanese revolutionaries, South African critics of ongoing decolonization, and Sufi anti-imperialists from the Indian Ocean. Through this confrontation, attentive to the diversity of concrete historical-political contexts that have animated anticolonial arguments and practices, the issue explores the limits and the potential trajectories of an anticolonial impulse for a postcolonial world.
