Is the Sun Setting on the Western Empire? Exploring Shifts in Global Power and Islamophobic Thinking / eds. Faisal Bodi & Arzu Merali

The proceedings of this conference presented futures of multipolarity. This volume covers questions of how the west declines, the conflicts it has had and will foment in its efforts to prevent its demise, and what possible alternatives - for good or ill - are on the horizon. First presented at the end of 2022, these papers and presentations chart and analyse the already evident collapse of the ‘New World Order’, its repercussions, not least in Palestine, and the possible futures opening up as a result. This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to hear from authentic academic and activist voices, speaking from within decolonial and anti-imperialist politics.
