Recenzje

This must-read work celebrates, and confronts the advent of the Global South's 'turn' in comparative constitutional law and jurisprudence, and bristles with rich distinctions between studies for, with, and from global South perspectives, and constitutionalism as sites of access, denial, and struggle. The global drift towards authoritarian constitutionalism here insightfully interrogates legal orientalism, epistemic colonization, and delineation of our new uncommon futures.
