Double-weighted statement
Badiou in Jamaica: The Politics of Conflict (approximately 164,000 words) develops a novel reading of the French philosopher Alain Badiou, and applies it to anti-colonial struggles in Jamaica. It intervenes in Badiou scholarship by arguing for an intersection with postcolonial theory and cultural studies. It contributes a ‘Badiouian’ reading of the Rastafari movement connecting it to reggae music, drawing on largely untranslated early works by Badiou and on archival work undertaken over a three-year period in both the Reggae Studies Unit of the University of the West Indies (Kingston, Jamaica) and the Colonial Office records of the British National Archives.
