After an issue dedicated to the persistent structures of colonial domination and racialization in western and northern European societies, The Funambulist 55 (Sep-Oct 2024) Asian Imperialisms intends to decenter Europe, and examine historical and present processes of imperial and/or colonial domination by seven arguably ethnocratic Asian states, namely, Japan, the People’s Republic of China, the Russian Federation (and the Soviet Union), India, Pakistan, Iran, and Turkey (alongside Azerbaijan). This “Asian” denomination chosen for this issue’s title follows historic examples of solidarity at this massive continental scale, the most famous one being the 1955 Afro–Asian Conference in Bandung. The cover is an artwork by Korean artist Kyungmi Shin.

In the News from the Fronts section, you can read a short essay on Oceanian solidarities with the anti-colonial struggle for Kanaky (Roselyne Makalu & Anaïs Duong-Pedica), as well as an architectural reflexion on reimagining Rohingya homes in Great Britain (Nasrynn Chowdhury).
