Against the erasure of this tradition, I call for a recovery of silenced histories of radicalism and anti-imperial thought and of a tradition that still offers resources for an emancipatory politics grounded in a critique of international law, imperialism and global capitalism.

I argue that a Marxist theory of imperialism was an important influence on anti-colonial political thought, while also shaping radical Third World lawyers’ attitudes towards the relationship between international law and imperialism and the uses and limits of the former.

Despite growing interest in the international legal history of decolonisation, significant elisions remain. Through a reading of recent engagements with that history, I argue that they contribute to an erasure of the Marxist tradition in the history of the Third World movement.
