'By reading Kant 'disloyally' and mining Du Bois's anticolonial writings, Inés Valdez advances a radically transformed cosmopolitanism. Transnational Cosmopolitanism makes the case - brilliantly - that Du Bois's vision of transnational politics is essential to understanding and challenging global injustice today.'
