[Book review] Contesting colonial capitalism in the Americas, Africa and Asia

Abstract

After Aziz Choudry died prematurely in 2021, social movement activists and scholars across the world joined in honouring and mourning him, paying tribute to the man and his work in multiple forums (e.g. Vally et al 2023). Four years on, his colleague, comrade and friend Dip Kapoor has dedicated this book to him, a collection of twenty-three social movement case studies from the Americas, Asia and Africa, each one inspired and informed by some aspect of Choudry’s work. Tragically, this was also Kapoor’s last book, as he died in August this year. It would be hard to overstate the loss this represents for those of us who value radical education scholarship.
