New nationalisms, toxic patriotisms and systems of exclusion have been on the rise for the last decade, reinforced by technology and rooted in colonialism, slavery, and class oppression. Our time offers a unique twist on these age-old structures: rhetorics of decolonization are now weaponized by autocratic regimes, just as they are normalized in the phantasmagoria of cultural practices. This book is the result of a (self-)critical project of discussions, workshops, exhibitions, and meetings in Cologne, Poland, Israel, Hong Kong, and Chicago.
