About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
The New Age of Empire takes us back to the beginning of the European Empires, outlining the deliberate terror and suffering wrought during every stage of the expansion and destroys the self-congratulatory myth that the West was founded on the three great revolutions of science, industry and politics. Instead, genocide, slavery and colonialism are the key foundation stones upon which the West was built and we are still living under this system today: America is now at the helm, perpetuating global inequality through business, government and institutions like the UN, the IMF, the World Bank and the WTO.
The West is rich because the rest is poor. Capitalism is racism. The West congratulations itself on raising poverty by increments in the developing world while ignoring the fact that it created these conditions in the first place and continues to perpetuate them. The Enlightenment, which underlies every part of our foundational philosophy today, was and is profoundly racist. This colonial logic was and is used to justify the ransacking of Black and brown bodies and their land. The fashionable solutions offered by the white left in recent years fall far short of even beginning to tackle the West's place at the helm of a racist global order.
Offering no easy answers, The New Age of Empire is essential listening to understand our profoundly corrupt global system. A work of essential clarity, The New Age of Empire is a groundbreaking new blueprint for taking Black radical thought into the 21st century and beyond.

This is a book which makes uncomfortable reading, if you are of the belief that somehow the market… the free market… provides opportunities for universal growth, or if you subscribe to the idea that cultural presence equals systemic change.
A book designed to inform, challenge, question the readers real understanding of what are you doing to challenge the status quo.
This book is brilliant in so many different ways, from being immaculately researched, to it being written in a way which engages rather than bombards, to it shining a refreshing light on how we are here, because they were there.
Eloquently and vibrant expose of colonialisms ever changing economic mask

Schools should have this as text inorder to change society at root level.
Sadly the author is awful at presenting his material. He should have hired someone who can engage with audience. THIS is real shame since the material is amazing.
Fantastic Book
