Specifically, Carr's analysis of  imperialism and war parallels the first wave post-colonial thinkers in two respects.  First, Carr's work historically situates imperialism in the context of the social  question in Western democracies. Second, Carr's work provides an ideology  critique to Enlightenment rationalism, which postulates that 'reason could  determine what [are] the universally valid moral laws' and thus 'by the voice of  reason men could be persuaded both to save their own immoral souls and to  move along the path of political enlightenment and progress' (Carr 1984, 22 and  24). Carr's ideology critique exposes the Enlightenment's pretences of reason and  universality as a deceptive plea that legitimates imperialism. These parallels, the  book argues, reveal that Ca §16§rr didnot only recognise global hierarchy, but also  theorised the role of what Julian Go refers to as the 'episteme of empire'-that  is, 'the meanings and modalities of seeing and knowing that ... accompanied  empire and made it possible in the first place' (Go 2017, 19-20). Carr's IR theory,  in short, was much closer to post-colonial thinking than previously appreciated in  the discipline.§§ §04§Chapter 1: Introduction.- Chapter 2: realist variations on imperialism and race.- Chapter 3: Carr and the first wave of post-colonialism: shared intellectual origins.- Chapter 4: Carr, Fanon, Du Bois and Césaire's ideology critique of imperialism.- Chapter 5: visions of the future world order.- Chapter 6: Carr's lessons for post-colonial IR.- Chapter 7: Conclusion. §13§\"Karkour's reinterpretation of Carr's work is likely to raise eyebrows among self-proclaimed realists and postcolonial scholars alike. Nonetheless, it is also provocative in a positive way. The book takes an important step in reassessing the historical sociology of the discipline and blind canonization within IR. Karkour's critique of linearity and his subsequent reassessment of Carr's 'postcolonial thinking' offer the most significant lesson for modern IR scholars of all persuasions ... .\" (Jude Rowley, International Affairs, Vol. 99 (2), 2023) §02§§Haro L Karkour is a Lecturer in International Relations at Cardiff University, UK.
