Opis

Ahluwalia makes a convincing and controversial case that post-structuralism has colonial and postcolonial roots. This wide-ranging discussion, ranging across authors such as Fanon, Foucault, Derrida, Althusser, Cixous, Bourdieu and Lyotard, enables the reader to make connections that have remained unnoticed or been neglected.
