Our seminar with Nasser Mufti today generated a fantastic discussion around key ideas in his WIP ‘Looking West Again: Decolonization and the Invention of Britain’s Nineteenth Century’, and how these ideas crystallise through rereading C.L.R. James and V. S. Naipaul #QMPocoSeminar

Photo of Nasser Mufti speaking while sitting on a chair in front of a screen with a quotation:
‘ It Is a new Society that we are working to realise, not a Cleaning up of our present tyrannical muddle.*
How close Morris came to the bone! He looked right across history and, with remarkable Insight, saw into our particular predicament. There, on the streets of Nairobi is Morris's tyranny: here, in the ageing dockyards, the cluttered roads and rallway stations, the decaying centres of our cites, the closing nationalised collieries, is his muddle.’
Stuart Hall, New Left Review 1. 1. 3 (1960)
