Worldmaking After Empire: The Rise and Fall of Self Determination
Colonialism did not make the modern world at all.
The end of colonialism did not.
Neocolonialism, now under way, will not either.
It was a field for combat among and between white Western Great Powers.
This was the first country in the West to rebel against the West. It was stupid as shit.
Wilson's Self Determination was a doctrine of liberation mainly in the context of the Old European Empires, not their colonies.
Adom Getachew is an idiot.
The NIEO new international economic order was not at all mainly about helping liberated negroes or others of color anywhere. Trust me, that was at most a minor theme.
