This volume explores ongoing debates in decolonial and planetary studies in the context of contemporary Deleuzian scholarship. It pursues a geo-philosophical understanding of epistemology as put forward by Deleuze, treating it as a surface for generating borderless critical assemblages and as a way of stressing the immateriality of bordered consciousness. The book discourages any kind of cloying attachment to decoloniality and instead suggests that a transition towards Deleuze’s machinic anti-coloniality is what is needed at the current time — an anti-colonialism that may produce unlikely alliances among groups which may imagine a variety of alternatives to colonial capitalism from different starting points.

Deleuze, Decoloniality and Planetarity is essential reading for all scholars, researchers, and advanced students of Gilles Deleuze and of political philosophy.
