I cannot think of any other book that helps us to see so clearly where postcolonial criticism is headed." Dipesh Chakrabarty, University of Chicago "This volume is a fine demonstration of the inexhaustible connectivity of postcolonialism-as-critical-thinking – not only across academic disciplines and sociopolitical formations but also across generations of scholars with divergent intellectual practices. For anyone concerned with this major field of knowledge, it will prove a stimulating and rewarding read." Rey Chow, Brown University "This much needed collection indicates the continuing significance of postcolonial discourse today and its complex relationship to fields such as critical race theory, ethnic studies, and disability studies. The wide-ranging discussions will make this volume particularly useful to scholars committed to cross-cultural exchanges."
