Summary / Abstract (Note)This short article sets out to consider the limits of liberalism and its associated humanism in the light of reading Ash Amin's recent A Land of Strangers (2012). The terms of the debate are pushed beyond the idea of libealism as belonging to an exclusively European and autonomous formation. In a postcolonial take, liberalism is considered a conceptual field in which hegemonic processes and procedures of governmentality emerged in the historical moment that Europe seized the world and transformed it into what we call modernity.
