A damning exploration of the many ways in which the effects and logic of anti-Black colonialism continue to inform our modern world.
Colonialism and imperialism are often thought to be distant memories, whether they're glorified in Britain's collective nostalgia or taught as a sin of the past in history classes. This idea is bolstered by the emergence of India, China, Argentina, and other non-Western nations as leading world powers. Multiculturalism, immigration, and globalization have led traditionalists to fear that the West is in decline and that white people are rapidly being left behind; progressives and reactionaries alike espouse the belief that we live in a post-racial society.
But imperialism, as Kehinde Andrews argues, is alive and well. It's just taken a new form: one in which the US and not Europe is at the center of Western dominion, and imperial power looks more like racial capitalism than the expansion of colonial holdings. The International Monetary Fund, World Bank, World Trade Organization, and even the United Nations are only some of these modern mechanisms of Western imperialism. Yet these imperialist logics and tactics are not limited to just the West or to white people, as in the neocolonial relationship between China and Africa. Diving deep into the concepts of racial capitalism and racial patriarchy, Andrews adds nuance and context to these often over-simplified narratives, challenging the right and the left in equal measure.
Andrews takes the listener from genocide to slavery to colonialism, deftly explaining the histories of these phenomena, how their justifications are linked, and how they continue to shape our world to this day. The New Age of Empire is a damning indictment of white-centered ideologies from Marxism to neoliberalism, and a reminder that our histories are never really over.

Each chapter is filled with so much knowledge. It’s the most informational book I’ve read since Dambisa Moyo’s “Dead Aid” and Walter Rodney’s “How Europe underdeveloped Africa”.
In a world where white supremacy isn’t the order of the day, this book along with the others I listed will be required in every middle/high school and even universities across Africa, Europe and the United States.
I look for forward to Mr. Andrews future works.
Probably the most insightful book since…

So Dr Andrew’s presentation is like a lot of silt, with a few fragments of truth, like bits of gold found in the midst of his nonsense. Useful was the list of the racist, ideologues who we usually associate with enlightenment philosophy. But he does not discuss fully the anti-racist philosophers, like Rousseau, Woolman, and Priestly. But what is extremely useful about his nonsense is the reality of an international form of Negrophobic racism, which was going to be a major aspect of capitalism, and all three of its phases: merchant, industrial, and financial. To that degree his poorly researched analysis, supplements, Lenin’s imperialism analysis.
And, of course, he says nothing about Muslim expansionism into the Eastern world. And like most Afrocentric neo racists he never defines what Europe is, and where it is geographically located, and how many of these Europeans were involved in the enlightenment in the first place, given the fact that religious monotheism was the primary form of cultural psychological control in large areas of Europe.
one sided nonsense: the Afrocentric neo racist nature of the New Age of Empire
