Just wrote a book review for Shuk Ying Chan's new book, Postcolonial Global Justice.

https://t.co/509dOfZlh6

[Samuel Chan @Samuel_CKY]

I argue in the review that the book develops a unique account of anticolonial egalitarianism that, among other contributions, (a) advances our understanding of colonialism; (b) radicalizes egalitarian theories; and (c) expands our decolonial visions beyond a statist global order.

[Samuel Chan @Samuel_CKY]

Looking forward to the conversation. Thank you @GRAPHhk for hosting me and @KennedyWongHK for commenting on my paper. Join us on Jan 23!

@JinxueChen We hope we had a sufficiently expansive understanding of both "homeland" and "orientation" that could address these tensions, but welcome conversations and criticisms if not!

[Samuel Chan @Samuel_CKY]

It is, we believe, the first attempt to systematically introduce and ground the topic of diaspora in political theory, and while one could reasonably disagree with our argumentation, our intention to create an opening here for potential conversations in the years to come.
