Among the foremost feminist critics to have emerged over the last 15 years, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak has challenged established approaches in literary and cultural studies. Although her readings of various authors has often rendered her work difficult terrain for those unfamiliar with post-structuralism, this collection explores Spivak's theories of critical analysis. Spanning a decade of Spivak's writing, this text brings together some of the author's readings of trends in the study of Marxism, feminism and post-structuralism. Engaging with such figures as Derrida and Foucault, Spivak's writing provides an analysis of disputes within the field of critical theory, encompassing issues such as: post-colonialism; textuality; commodity fetishism; sexual difference and the relevance of philosophy to literature.
