Shringarpure goes beneath the skin of postcolonialism and finds the Cold War. Here is the brutality of colonial violencethe harsh use of the stick, surely, but also the enforcement of starvation. Her book slips through the minds of major thinkers of decolonization, finding so much about them that has been set aside by the narrower concerns of North Atlantic postcolonial studies. This is criticism with a foot deeply sunk into the mud of the South.
Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research
This is an important rethinking of postcolonial studies today. Shringarpures provocative book underscores the urgency of bringing together studies of colonialism with studies of the Cold War, and offers a compelling methodology for doing this work. Clearly written and bold, Cold War Assemblages questions widely touted figures and approaches from Gandhi to close reading and openness in the digital realm, and offers in the place of depoliticized reading and teaching strategies a red thread that ties together the US-American university landscape and culture industry with the historical and ongoing impacts of colonialism and Cold War violence in the Global South.
Kerry Bystrom, Associate Professor of English and Human Rights and Associate Dean of the College atBard College Berlin, A Liberal Arts University
Bhakti Shringarpures book is a necessary intervention in the intellectual history of the Cold War and the postcolony. In showing that these histories cannot be separated, Shringarpure also shows how both are embedded in futures to come. Anyone interested in political violence, revolutionary time, radicalism and political theory must reckon with Shringarpures analysis.
Sean Jacobs, The New School and Africa Is a Country
This book bridges the gap between the simultaneously unfolding histories of postcoloniality and the 45-year ideological and geopolitical rivalry between the US and the USSR. Not only did the superpowers rely upon the decolonizing world to further imperial agendas, but the postcolony itself was shaped, epistemologically and materially, by Cold War discourses, policies, narratives, and paradigms. Ruptures and appropriated trajectories in the postcolonial world can be attributed to the ways in which the Cold War became the afterlife of European colonialism. Through a speculative assemblage, this book connects the dots, deftly taking the reader from Frantz Fanon to Aaron Swartz, and from assassinations in the Third World to American multiculturalism. Whether the Cold War subverted the dream of decolonization or created a compromised cultural sphere, this book makes those rich palimpsests visible.
Bhakti Shringarpure is Assistant Professor of English at the University of Connecticut and editor-in-chief of Warscapes magazine.

Routledge Studies in Cultures of the Global Cold War aims to invigorate research on the Cold War beyond the US-USSR bipolar framework, to focus on what is now called the Global SouthAfrica, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. These sites have both been impacted by, and have transformed in turn, the global engagement of the Cold War and its cultural and political discourses. Moreover, the series focuses on cultural production in these regions to understand how ideological battles intertwined with direct violence in the Cold Wars hot zones. The series invites monographs and edited collections that historicize and trace genealogies of the conceptual tools and methodologies informing current debates stemming from the Cold War period.

Routledge Studies in Cultures of the Global Cold War aims to invigorate research on the Cold War beyond the US-USSR bipolar framework, to focus on what is now called the Global SouthAfrica, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean.

The monographs and edited collections in this series historicize and trace genealogies of the conceptual tools and methodologies informing current debates stemming from the Cold War period.
The first book in the series, Bhakti Shringarpures Cold War Assemblages: Decolonization to Digital is a brilliant methodological intervention that cuts across disciplines to explore the entanglements of the global Cold War with processes of decolonization and their aftermath. Shringarpure identifies key Cold War moments and epistemes that have shaped our understanding of cultural production: the methodological bifurcation in the works of Gandhi and Fanon which set up different models for postcolonial theory; the assassination of revolutionary leaders and thinkers Patrice Lumumba, Amilcar Cabral, Thomas Sankara and the subsequent transformation of nation time in the postcolony; and the impact of the USAs covert patronage of cultural activities and the establishment of a Cold War paradigm in literary and publishing culture, a paradigm whose premises are still visible today in the digital realm. The books assemblages approach and radical interdisciplinarity deliver a pathbreaking interrogation of postcolonial studies as a field.
