Abstrakt: This chapter covers selected research in postcolonial theory published in 2019. It begins with books and edited collections before it focuses on a special journal issue and a book chapter. The work discussed here demonstrates how postcolonialism engages in human geography and in the ongoing refugee and climate crises, and also how it draws attention to the continued need for ethical responses to precarity and subalternity. Concomitantly with this need postcolonial theory points to a reconfiguration of planetarity and a critical stance towards the Western-centric ideas that remain part of the field's legacy.
