George Fourlas delves into the intricate interplay of orientalism, racism, and colonialism, which together shaped the imaginary landscapes of the newly categorized Middle East. This critical analysis not only sheds light on the historical roots of these phenomena but also presents possibilities for the present and future. By examining past obscured by colonialism and highlighting exemplary cases of MENA solidarity, the author reflects on the conditions for building a solidarity among MENA peoples and subjugated groups that challenges the cyclical nature of violent domination that has defined colonial power since 1492.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRather than providing a prescriptive model for a harmonious society, Anti-Colonial Solidarity delves into the necessary elements for creating an open-ended collectivity that resists rigid universalism and reification. It emphasizes the importance of reciprocal relations with others and the environment, recognizing the interconnectedness of all beings. This book serves as a call to action for MENA people and subjugated groups to reclaim their identities and histories from the clutches of colonial domination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough its comprehensive analysis, Anti-Colonial Solidarity offers a nuanced understanding of the complex dynamics of race, reconciliation, and MENA liberation. It challenges readers to think critically about the historical and contemporary forces that have shaped MENA societies and to work towards a more inclusive and equitable world. By embracing solidarity, empathy, and collective action, we can build a future that is free from the legacies of colonialism and oppression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 263g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 220 x 153 x 12 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781538141465\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"George N.
