"This book boldly calls for a multiculturalism that is deep and committed rather than one that is superficial and institutionally driven. Alessandrini shows how we can produce a radical multiculturalism if we build from the ongoing legacies of decolonization. May we all heed its rallying cry."
-Roderick A. Ferguson, author of We Demand: The University and Student Protests
"Written with wit and imagination . . . it also provides us with a timely reminder as to how the study of multiculturalism can resist the platitudes of pundits who pontificate about political correctness, critical race theory, wokeism, or some other moral panic."
–Daniel McNeil, author of Thinking While Black: Translating the Politics and Popular Culture of a Rebel Generation
Decolonize Multiculturalism seeks to steal the project of multiculturalism from the clutches of opportunistic elites aboard "armed lifeboats" and put it back into the hands of young rebels–past, present, and future–for the sake of destroying the world to build it anew. In prose, so playful and fun, that makes decolonization irresistible, Tony Alessandrini weaves together a history of the present to chart out a future worth fighting for.
–Noura Erakat, Associate Professor of Africana Studies and the Program in Criminal Justice, Rutgers University
