Decolonizing the Western Mind: Gurminder K. Bhambra, in discussion with Albena Azmanova
Full text linkThe role of colonialism in the development of modern society is by now well acknowledged. Gurminder Bhambra, however, has argued not only that the injustices of the past need to be repaired, as many thinkers within the decolonial and post-colonial movement have urged, but that this reparative work must also be extended to the social sciences themselves.

Neoliberalism, Neofeudalism, and Precarity: A Response to Albena Azmanova and Jodi Dean
Full text linkThis is a response to the articles of Albena Azmanova and Jodi Dean included in this issue, exploring the intersections and divergences in their analyses of contemporary capitalism. I argue that the lens of neofeudalism that Jodi Dean invites us to entertain can offer a different explanation of Albena Azmanova’s diagnosis of contemporary capitalism. Notably, I propose that capitalism’s neofeudalising tendencies contribute to the rise of inequality, the decline of class politics, and the increase of monopoly power. Contrary to Jodi Dean though, I will claim that there were two crucial transformations of contemporary capitalism that spearheaded the emergence of neofeudalism: the rise to prominence of Big Tech and asset management companies after the 2008 global financial crisis
