Description
Ariella Aïsha Azoulay's Potential History is a powerful call to action against imperialism and its ongoing impact on our world. By examining the institutions that shape our understanding of history, Azoulay argues that we can still resist the original imperial violence that has devastated communities and lives. Through her concept of "potential history," Azoulay invites us to rewind time and unlearn the imperial foundations of knowledge. She travels alongside historical companions to chart the ways in which imperialism has sought to order time, space, and politics. By refusing to accept the strictures of imperial thinking, we can begin to repair the violent world we share. In this thought-provoking work, Azoulay challenges us to rethink our relationship with history and its many violences. By making present what was invented as "past" and prioritizing the repair of torn worlds, we can create a more just and equitable future.
