The Chromatic World Order argues that race, rather than being a relic of the colonial past, remains a foundational principle of the modern global order. It contends that the ideology of white superiority has shaped European imperialism, colonialism, neocolonialism, and neoliberalism over the past five centuries, while continuing to influence international politics, institutions, and knowledge systems despite post-World War II claims of racial equality. Through critical engagement with Western political thought and historical narratives, the book challenges conventional understandings of global history and exposes how racial hierarchies have been embedded in concepts of civilization, development, and international relations. Drawing on vivid historical episodes—from Columbus's voyage on the Santa Maria and the transatlantic slave ship Brookes to the 2023 Adriana migrant tragedy—the book traces the enduring legacy of racial colonialism and its contemporary manifestations, including the War on Terror and conflicts in Gaza and Iran. It argues that race does more than facilitate exploitation; it dehumanizes, sustaining unequal global power structures while intersecting with class and gender. Written in an accessible style and supported by extensive historical evidence, the book calls for a fundamental rethinking of modern history and anti-racist struggles, presenting itself as a compelling contribution to the ongoing project of dismantling racial hierarchy and all forms of human domination.
