ISBN: 0521890594 ISBN-13: 9780521890595 Publisher: Cambridge University Press OUR PRICE: $54.14 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: August 2002 Annotation: What is the relationship between Marxism and postcolonial thought? Can a revolutionary European ideology be an emancipatory intellectual tool in the post-imperial world? Or, in sites where European thought is often treated with suspicion, does it repeat distrusted legacies and epistemologies? This collection is the first systematic attempt to provide an overview of this collision. An international cast of contributors challenge the elision of Marxist thought in the debate on what the term "postcolonial" actually entails. The volume is essential reading for all engaged in postcolonial and cultural studies. |
