Probing in its diagnosis, creative in its constructive spirit, against the alternative of mass extinction, Fourlas offers historical, mythic, and philosophical resources to forge anti-colonial solidarities that are as necessary as they are potentially far-reaching. Illuminating the nature of Middle Eastern racialization and the internalized Orientalism of insular MENA micro-communal, racialized-nationalist commitments, the book portrays a future that must be deliberately and tirelessly built through processes of relearning that center the renovation of reconciliatory practices indigenous to the between space of the Afro-Euro-Asian MENA region prior to its MENAfication. The Decolonizing the Ancients chapter is a must-read for all scholars of the history of ideas. I hope it will be taught and reprinted widely! -- Jane Anna Gordon, author of Statelessness and Contemporary Enslavement andCreolizing Political Theory: Reading Rousseau through Fanon
