Flap

In this collection, contributors from around the world present short, accessible essays that take a striking visual image as a starting point to explore how today's global financial structures are haunted by the ghosts of empire: from the early days of settler colonialism to contemporary extractive industries; from direct colonial rule to racist border regimes. The entangled legacies of empire draws on many rich examples, from the City of London to the Australian outback, from Angola's railways to China's ghost cities, from the depths of the ocean to the ethereal world of data. It explores topics as diverse as children's play equipment, the popular drink Milo, Afro-pessimism and rare earth mining. Telling stories of resistance and contestation, from Maori banks to radical muralists, from subtle gestures to mass uprisings, this volume will be of interest to students, activists, journalists and anyone curious about how empire, race and colonialism continue to influence the global economy. This book is both a fascinating journey for readers and an invaluable tool for teachers seeking to awaken students' curiosity about how the global capitalist economy emerged from, and continues to reproduce, racialised inequalities.
