This book bridges the gap between the simultaneously unfolding
histories of postcoloniality and the forty-five-year ideological
and geopolitical rivalry between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. Not only
did the superpowers rely upon the decolonizing world to further
imperial agendas, but the postcolony itself was shaped,
epistemologically and materially, by Cold War discourses, policies,
narratives, and paradigms. Ruptures and appropriated trajectories
in the postcolonial world can be attributed to the ways in which
the Cold War became the afterlife of European colonialism. Through
a speculative assemblage, this book connects the dots, deftly
taking the reader from Frantz Fanon to Aaron Swartz, and from
assassinations in the Third World to American multiculturalism.
Whether the Cold War subverted the dream of decolonization or
created a compromised cultural sphere, this book makes those rich
palimpsests visible.
