Adom Getachew is an Ethiopian-American political scientist. She is Professor of Political Science and Race, Diaspora & Indigeneity at the University of Chicago.[1] She is the author of Worldmaking after Empire: The Rise and Fall of Self-Determination.[2][3][4][5][6]

Adom was awarded a PhD in Political Science and African-American Studies from Yale University in 2015.[7] She was born in Ethiopia. She was raised in Ethiopia and Botswana until the age of 13, when her family moved to Arlington, Virginia, United States.[8][9][10]

Work

Her first book, Worldmaking after Empire: The Rise and Fall of Self-Determination (2019), centers the work of African, African American, and Caribbean anticolonial nationalists and their efforts to challenge the global hierarchy.[11] Ultimately, she argues that legally decolonized countries face unequal legal, economic, and social integration in the international plane.[12] These stratified relationships continue to perpetrate imperial structures.
