Postcolonial Theory in the Global Age

“recommended”—Choice; “This collection of essays is a thoughtful update on the place of postcolonial theory in recent times. If the counterhegemonic thrust of poco theory is still relevant today, this is true in a way that revises hypostatic terms like ‘self’ and ‘other,’ global ‘north’ and ‘south,’ ‘centres’ and ‘margins.’ The individual contributions to this volume, capped by a useful critical introduction, provoke thought towards a more disciplinarily-open and affectively-engaged theory, one that is alert to the shifting transnational flows and changing regional realities of our global era.”—Professor Robbie B. H. Goh, National University of Singapore.
