Recent scholarship in political theory has focused on the treatment
of colonialism in the writings of canonical thinkers such as Locke,
Burke, Mill, Diderot, Tocqueville, Smith, and Kant, revealing the
extent to which the subject of colonialism and imperialism
dominated the minds of great thinkers as the colonial project took
place. While such scholarship provides fascinating insight into the
possible problems of enlightenment thought, it tends to ignore the
voices of thinkers who spoke from the position of the colonized.
Political Theories of Decolonization will fill a gap in
postcolonial political critique by serving as an introduction to
theorists who struggled with the question of how to found a new
political order when the existing ideas and institutions were
implicated in a history of domination. Looking at the writings of
Gandhi, Ngugi, al-Afghani, and Mariategui, among several others,
the authors aim to explain how the work of these thinkers engage in
thematic continuities--constituting postcolonial political
thought--and add to liberal democratic understandings of political
power, as well as illuminate how many of the central questions of
political theory are imaginatively explored by postcolonial
writers.
