This book decolonises 'sambo' as racialised knowledge, power, being and affect  to unsettle its place in the history of 'mixed race' and racialised naming forged through settler colonialism which in its afterlife continues to haunt our contemporary period through national commemoration, cultural production and markets in contemptible collectibles. Using a Black decolonial feminist approach, this book deconstructs 'the white sambo psyche' of white European settler colonialism, which classifies the colonised and enslaved into 'sambo': a category of racial subjection and utter negation which is now so normalized that we are inured to it. \u003cbr\u003eDrawing on voyages both real and metaphorical to places such as Australia, South Africa, Jamaica, the Dutch West Indies, and the UK, \u003ci\u003eDecolonizing Sambo\u003c\/i\u003e positions itself amongst the global entanglements of white European settler colonialism, racial capitalism and contemporary culture. This cultural analysis analyses archival data, artefacts, commemorative spaces, films, children's books, and sweets to show sambo's genealogy, transculturation, fungibility, and continuation in contemporary racialising assemblages. \u003cbr\u003eAs we continue to live in an era of 'samboification', this book provides scholars and students with the materials to start thinking about sambo as an (un)known part of colonialism and explore 'post-race' racism within which professions of sincere love for the racialised other are an active aspect of (post) colonial states' self-deception about being 'post-race'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40897212350561,"sku":"9781789733488","price":88.91,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/0f228778a2e69588479c8fe780025dce.png?v=1688748538","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781789733488-decolonising-sambo","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
