Now I made it! The starter pack you've been looking for: Critical legal scholars, broadly understood - Marxist, LPE, postcolonial, TWAIL, feminist, queer approaches, etc., to law. I'll keep adding names, so feel free to tell me if you (or others) should be there (or shouldn't).

Since this platform is new-ish, I will post the stuff that I published this year and I am not terribly ashamed of. Alongside the wisely offline Asli Bali and the amazing Chisato Kimura we wrote a short framing piece for our symposium on TWAIL and sanctions yjil.yale.edu/posts/2024-0...

Pope Leo aka "The TWAIL Pope" in Algeria today:
"respecting the dignity of everyone and allowing yourselves to be moved by the pain of others ... is more urgent than ever in the face of continuous violations of international law and neocolonial tendencies."

I’m always surprised by the lumping of imperial history with decolonial approaches or TWAIL as this supposedly normatively “woke” discipline that believes in “Europe = bad”. That’s an oversimplification for all of these methodologies, but it is even more bizarre for imperial histories /1
If an historian of colonialism - the definition of which is the forceful appropriation of other peoples’ lands & their exploitation - explains that Western colonialism involved, guess what, the forceful appropriation of other peoples’ lands & their exploitation- they must be a “cultural Marxist”.

With a snap I brought an #OnlyBuns Sinday to bare(🤭pun). And in the best uwu voice I could muster I plead, "But I'm such a good bun, Apyaahi-uwu! Pwease pet my twail."
She crumbled. Princesses know this is a super power. Which she should have known.
The epilogue is in comments.
