This book addresses emancipatory narratives from two main sites in
the colonial world, the Indian and southern African subcontinents.
Exploring how love and revolution interrelate, this volume is
unique in drawing on theories of affect to interrogate histories of
the political, thus linking love and revolution together. The
chapters engage with the affinities of those who live with their
colonial pasts: crises of expectations, colonial national
convulsions, memories of anti-colonial solidarity, even shared
radical libraries. It calls attention to the specific and singular
way in which notions of 'love of the world' were born in a precise
moment of anti-colonial struggle: a love of the world for which one
would offer one's life, and for which there had been little
precedent in the history of earlier revolutions. It thus offers new
ways of understanding the shifts in global traditions of
emancipation over two centuries.
