Rezensionen
Black Ghost of Empire is a rare treasure of a book, that offers both powerful knowledge, and a new language with which to describe it. Manjapra's haunting journey takes the reader deep into neglected histories of oppression, while also illuminating the resistance and joy that Black people created within them. Above all the concept of ghostlining - such a succinct and accurate way of naming what we go through as people who tell stories about history - will stay with me Afua Hirsch
