Description

This work examines the complex and contested intersection of poststructuralist and postcolonial theories in work by key theorists--Derrida, Deleuze and Guattari, Kristeva, Spivak, and Bhabha--and assesses the sometimes difficult relationship that they have with Marxism, feminism, and psychoanalysis. This book also shows how these theorists often challenge each others' conclusions about cultural power and don't, as some believe, collectively celebrate "the postnational". Central to these debates are the concepts of community, globalization, cosmopolitanism, Europe and European colonialism, modernity, and postcoloniality.
