Abstract
“This talk draws on examples from US liberal imperialism to illuminate the postcolonial critique of liberalism and its standpoint. It argues that the postcolonial critique sees the liberal script as a constitutive boundary-drawing project and that the postcolonial critique emerges from the space of the ‘colonial’: from a sociopolitical site of difference, both material (or ‘actual’) and conceptual, that liberal projects seek to organize hierarchically. To illuminate these points, the talk refers to America’s new empire of the early 20th century that encompassed Puerto Rico and the Philippines and colonized even the anticolonial critique targeted against it.”
