Description: A. Kayum Ahmed tells the powerful story of Rhodes Must Fall, tracing the emergence of a new decolonial framework, Fallism, and its trajectory from Africa to empire.
Review Quotes: Theorizing Fallism is a sweeping meditation on decolonial study and struggle, following students who force universities to confront their own contradictions. By centering movements across time and place, Ahmed exposes how universities pay lip service to critical inquiry while shutting down critique of the university itself--and how collective refusal turns campuses, classrooms, and encampments into sites of liberatory world-making. Essential reading for everyone who dares to imagine and demand another university.--Ruha Benjamin, author of Imagination: A Manifesto
