Colonial Legacies and Arab-Majority Regions - From Contemporary Conditions to Alternative Futures

How do colonial legacies shape contemporary realities in the Arab-majority region? What possibilities exist for decolonial futures? This groundbreaking volume brings together interdisciplinary explorations of the enduring colonial condition in the Arab-majority region, moving beyond reductive analyses and engaging deeply with a variety of histories, lived experiences, and theoretical tools. Across its chapters, the collection exposes how various structures and institutions operating at diverse sites and scales constitute a contemporary entangled coloniality, and offers pathways and resources towards moving beyond this from, for, and contra the region. In the shadow of ongoing colonial violence, this collection is both an urgent critique and a hopeful call for new ways of knowing and reimagining the future of the Arab-majority region.
