Lineages of a conspiracy
This article argues that the panic over the ‘great replacement’ of White populations in Europe, North America and Oceania needs to be understood in the context of demography as a science rooted in English and French settler-colonial projects. From William Petty to Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Robert Malthus, major formulations of populationism have been animated by the settler frontier and its double-sided promise of replenishment (for some) and …
The Haitian Revolution
This chapter sketches out two divergent options for rectifying the neglect of the Haitian Revolution in the field of international relations. First, we can make a claim for Haiti’s centrality to international politics by tracing the effects and repercussions of its revolution on the Caribbean, the Americas and the world at large. Alternatively, we can see Haiti’s revolution as exposing the limitations of the categories we use to measure significa…
Response section
In his response, Manjeet S. Pardesi argues that global international relations and relational scholarship rooted in global history can learn much from each other and must work together to overcome Eurocentrism while avoiding other forms of ‘centrisms’. The second contribution by Zeynep Gülşah Çapan aims to underline three interrelated dynamics: space (global), time (history), and knowledge. In the third and final response, Musab Younis draws on E…
The Meanings of Internationalism
‘Few political notions are at once so normative and so equivocal as internationalism’, wrote Perry Anderson 20 years ago. Little has changed: today too, internationalism tends to take the form of a regular exhortation to think or act beyond the border or boundary, yet its political content remains underdetermined. What do we mean when we talk about internationalism? The following discussion sought to approach this question not by returning to fir…
Anticolonialism in the Present Tense
Six decades after Frantz Fanon wrote that “the European game has finally ended” (1963: 312), the whistle has yet to blow on Europe. After sloughing off its imperial encumbrances, Europe now claims to have become an island of peace and security, liberalism and prosperity, rights, freedoms, progress, and the rule of law.1 This picture of impregnable stability relies on a constantly moving battery of meanings and projections. Most importantly, it de…
Queer Antinomies
Race, the World and Time
This article explores the role played by time in the maintenance of global racial difference with reference to the precarious sovereignties of Haiti, Liberia and Ethiopia during the interwar period. It suggests that the experiences of these states, understood through the discourses which sought to both support and undermine them, point to a shift away from juridical division in global order and towards a hierarchy framed in terms of racialised te…
United by blood
The Belle Époque, often thought to be a period defined by nationalism, also saw the remarkable global proliferation of transnational affinities – especially those centred on race. Across Europe and its settler territories, notions of pan‐racial affinity spread alongside imperial nationalism, in the context of technological advancement that permitted novel imaginative possibilities. Meanwhile, texts of political imagination in Africa and Asia duri…
