Since its initial publication in 2011, Theory from the South has sparked a groundbreaking new field of inquiry, drawing the attention of esteemed scholars worldwide. In the intervening years, global events have further substantiated and reinforced its core thesis, highlighting how Euroamerica has gradually shifted towards Africa. Among these significant developments are the striking similarities between the Trump presidency and that of Jacob Zuma, the transformative changes in the nature of many Northern democracies, the surge of populist politics, the growing dominance of private capital over state functions, the escalating inequalities, and the profound transformation of labor.

In this expanded edition, the Comaroffs delve deeper into their theorizing, exploring new dimensions and perspectives in response to these recent developments. To enrich the discourse, this edition includes critical assessments and discussions by a diverse range of prominent commentators. Achille Mbembe, James Ferguson, Ato Quayson, Srinivas Aravamudan, and Juan Obarrio contribute their insights, offering valuable perspectives on the topics at hand.

The Comaroffs' work has not only reshaped our understanding of the complex dynamics between Europe, Africa, and the Global South but has also left an indelible mark on the academic landscape. This expanded edition serves as a testament to their intellectual prowess and commitment to advancing knowledge in the field. As readers engage with the rich content and engaging discussions, they will be challenged to rethink their assumptions and explore new avenues for understanding the world's evolving geopolitical and social dynamics.
