Work

Her first book, Worldmaking after Empire: The Rise and Fall of Self-Determination (2019), centers the work of African, African American, and Caribbean anticolonial nationalists and their efforts to challenge the global hierarchy. ^[11] Ultimately, she argues that legally decolonized countries face unequal legal, economic, and social integration in the international plane. ^[12] These stratified relationships continue to perpetrate imperial structures.
