Contents Introduction. Star-crossed lovers? Decolonial thought and critical race theory -- 1. Against zero-point epistemology: delinking, border thinking, and counter-storytelling -- 2. When postcolonial melancholia meets post-racial ideology: on right-wing populism -- 3. National abjects in the "fourth world war": crises of neoliberal capitalism -- 4. Environmental racism and the logic of coloniality -- 5. When universalism kills, when post-racialism exonerates: COVID-19 and the myth of a great reset -- Conclusion. "A world in which many worlds fit": decolonial thought and critical race theory in the pluriverse.
Abstract "This book demonstrates how decolonial theory and critical race theory can be used together to better explain global social problems than either could alone. It applies them in combination to theorize capital accumulation, the rise of right-wing populist nationalism, the COVID pandemic, and the climate crisis"-- Provided by publisher.
