Parting Gifts of EmpireParting Gifts of Empire narrates an untold story of how Arabs and South Asians in the twentieth century sought to decolonise their minds. The histories of Palestine and Indiaboth partitioned by the British Empirewere intimately linked. In the face of the same imperially created chasm, intellectuals in Africa and Asia reinvigorated centuries of shared histories to forge new horizons, new solidarities, new institutions, and new fields of knowledge.
