The article sparked a global furor. Critics and defenders of Gilley's argument battled it out in the court of public opinion. \u003cem\u003eThe Times\u003c\/em\u003e of London described Gilley as \"probably the academic most likely to be no-platformed in Britain.\" The \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e called him one of the \"panicky white bros\" who \"proclaim ever more rowdily that the (white) West was, and is, best\" and are \"busy recyclers of Western supremacism.\" In this book, Gilley responds to the critics and elaborates on the case for colonialism.
