Description
Decolonizing Politics: An Introduction by Robbie Shilliam offers a fresh perspective on the field of political science. Emerging from the challenges of imperial administration and colonial rule, this discipline has been shaped by its historical context, influencing how we study politics today. This book provides students with a critical lens to examine the main themes and issues in political science, including human nature, rights, citizenship, development, and global justice. It also introduces readers to intellectual resources from the postcolonial world, enabling them to think more expansively about these topics. By shifting the focus of political science from its centers of power to its margins, where most humanity resides, Decolonizing Politics argues that marginal positions can offer a deeper understanding of politics than traditional approaches.
