Erica Dillon, Sachi Miyazawa and Sherally Munshi kindly took time from their own studies to make possible the production of this book.  \nI am grateful to the organisers who gave me the opportunity to tryout chapters: Emeka Aniagolu, Keith Ansell-Pearson, Maria Balshaw, Andrew Chitty, Brenda Cooper, Tony Crowley, Attie de Lange, Gail Fincham, Farah Jasmine Griffin, Ken Harrow, Salah Hassan, Larry Landrum, Karen Lazar, Neil Lazarus, Laurent Milesi, Ato Quayson, Judith Squires, Jane Starfield, Patrick Williams and Tukufu Zuberi. Their speaker invitations took me from East Lansing, Michigan, to Soweto, South Africa; my work gained immeasurably from these visits and the critical debate they fostered. Very helpful readings of individual chapters were given by Chris Abuk, Ray Black, Madhu Dubey, Uzo Esonwanne, Rochelle Kapp, Scott McCracken, Benita Parry, Lawrence Phillips, Kelwyn Sole, Jane Starfield, and the late Nick Visser. Without the generous research support of the Nuffield Foundation, the British Academy and the University of Sussex School of African and Asian Studies, this book could not have been begun.  \nI held a visiting professorship at Brown University during 1999–2000. This considerably assisted the book’s development. For making it the best visiting professorship imaginable thanks to Mike Allan, Jim Campbell, Wendy Chun, Marie Clarke, Elliott Colla, Erica Dillon, MaryAnn Doane, Madhu Dubey, Jane Comaroff Gordon, Lewis Gordon, Yogita Goyal, Liza Hebert, Paget Henry, Yi Ping Ho, Jose Itzigsohn, Nancy Jakubowski, Tamar","cbCaiq7ZytWXyFIS","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiq7ZytWXyFIS","pdf",1139220,209,"English","# Contents\n## Part I Imperialism\n## Part II Transnationalism and race\n## Part III Postcolonial theoretical politics\n# Bibliography\n# Index","[{\"question\":\"How is the book organized across its three main parts?\",\"answer\":\"The table of contents divides the work into Part I (Imperialism), Part II (Transnationalism and race), and Part III (Postcolonial theoretical politics).
