"Bhakti Shringarpure's book is a necessary intervention in the intellectual history of the Cold War and the postcolony. In showing that these histories cannot be separated, Shringarpure also shows how both are 'embedded in futures to come.' Anyone interested in political violence, revolutionary time, radicalism and political theory must reckon with Shringarpure's analysis."- Sean Jacobs, The New School and "Africa is a Country"
"Shringarpure goes beneath the skin of postcolonialism and finds the Cold War. Here is the brutality of colonial violence - the harsh use of the stick, surely, but also the enforcement of starvation. Her book slips through the minds of major thinkers of decolonization, finding so much about them that has been set aside by the narrower concerns of North Atlantic postcolonial studies. This is criticism with a foot deeply sunk into the mud of the South."
- Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research
"This is an important rethinking of postcolonial studies today. Shringarpure's provocative book underscores the urgency of bringing together studies of colonialism with studies of the Cold War, and offers a compelling methodology for doing this work. Clearly written and bold, Cold War Assemblages questions widely-touted figures and approaches from Gandhi to close reading and 'openness' in the digital realm, and offers in the place of depoliticized reading and teaching strategies a 'red thread' that ties together the US-American university landscape and culture industry with the historical and on-going impacts of colonialism and Cold War violence in the Global South."
- Kerry Bystrom, Associate Professor of English and Human Rights and Associate Dean of the College at Bard College Berlin, A Liberal Arts University

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
