Abstract
This essay looks at three books on the histories of anti-colonialism: Desai’s the United States of India, Getachew’s Worldmaking after Empire, and Gopal’s Insurgent Empire. I argue that despite it not being the authors’ primary focus, these books collectively push forward the sociology of race. In particular, each of these books shows the importance for contemporary race and racism scholarship to adopt a transnational, temporally connected approach which is able to both study and forge global anti-colonial solidarities.
