Introduction

This introduction orients readers of European Journal of Political Theory who have not read the book, and helps all readers understand the differences between the first section of the book and other similar approaches – such as Melissa Williams’ Deparochializing Political Theory mode of disclosure. It also orients readers to the book's second section on dialogue and decolonization with reference to both the contrapuntal ensemble (Said) and governmentality (Foucault), and the contributions of Gandhi, Martin Luther King, and Richard Gregg's contra racism, capitalism, militarism, and anthropocentric ecocide—as well as their pro “democratic countermodernity” mode of disclosure.
