      abstract = {This book addresses emancipatory narratives from two main  sites in the colonial world, the Indian and southern  African subcontinents. Exploring how love and revolution  interrelate, this volume is unique in drawing on theories  of affect to interrogate histories of the political, thus  linking love and revolution together. The chapters engage  with the affinities of those who live with their colonial  pasts: crises of expectations, colonial national  convulsions, memories of anti-colonial solidarity, even  shared radical libraries. It calls attention to the  specific and singular way in which notions of love of the  world were born in a precise moment of anti-colonial  struggle: a love of the world for which one would offer  ones life, and for which there had been little precedent in  the history of earlier revolutions. It thus offers new ways  of understanding the shifts in global traditions of  emancipation over two centuries. G.
