In a few cases I have departed from the wording of texts available in English translations of José Martí. In such cases, I indicate this by referencing only the Spanish-language edition for these passages.; 10 Subaltern History as Political Thought; 11 Double Consciousness and the Democratic Ideal ; 12 Colonialism and the State of ExceptionAn earlier version of this paper was presented at the 2007 Association for Political Theory Conference. I greatly benefited from the comments of my fellow panelists. I would especially like to thank my collaborator Keally McBride, who introduced me to Ngugi.

• Sommario/riassunto: Colonialism and Its Legacy brings together essays by leading scholars in both the fields of political theory and the history of political thought about European colonialism and its legacies, and postcolonial social and political theory. The essays explore the ways in which European colonial projects structured and shaped much of modern political theory, how concepts from political philosophy affected and were realized in colonial and imperial practice, and how we can understand the intellectual and social world left behind by a half-millennium of European empires.
