‘Duncan Bell has done what few editors manage to do: assemble a volume that is much more than the sum of its parts. That’s a real accomplishment, given the impressive and diverse line-up of scholars who make up the parts of this astonishing collection. Empire, Race and Global Justice will quickly become an essential reference for anyone working in this field.’ Michael Goodhart, University of Pittsburgh
