Rezensionen

"As with racism or sexism, the site of contestation cannot be reduced to the individual but must be considered globally. Habib provides a valuable, concise, and accessible guide to this endeavor. ... I would certainly recommend it as an introduction to the vast field of post-Hegelian modernity to which postcolonial arguments must respond, and as a guide to further reading of the work of the many scholars who have engaged in this endeavor." (Wendy Shaw, New Global Studies, Vol. 13 (3), 2019)
"Hegel and Empire is well organized, clearly written, and thoughtfully reasoned. Together with his thorough command of the history of philosophy, Habib's capacious knowledge of anti- and postcolonial theories and literatures beggars the interdisciplinary imagination. Alongside recent works such as George Ciccariello-Maher's Decolonizing Dialectics , Habib's Hegel and Empire is obligatory reading for those of us 'working toward a more global vision' ... ." (Garry Bertholf, The Philosophical Quarterly, June 21, 2019)
