Ruling the Margins: Colonial Power and Administrative Rule in the Past and Present
ISBN: 9781138803879 / Angielski / Twarda / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Administrative rule is a type of rule centered on devising and implementing regulations governing how we live and how we conduct ourselves economically and politically, and sometimes culturally. The principle feature of this type of rule is the important question about how things should be arranged and for what purpose becomes a bureaucratic matter. Histories of the global south are rarely used to explain contemporary political structures or phenomena. This book uses histories of colonial power and colonial state-making to shed light on administrative government as a form of...

The Oil Cringe of the West
ISBN: 9780988477896 / Angielski / Miękka / 354 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This, the second volume of JB Kelly's essays and reviews, covers the oil crisis of the 1970's -a period which first alerted the Western world not only to the deep-seated animosity and contempt with which it is held by the Arab world, but also the duplicity and double-dealing in which Arabs, especially the Saudis, routinely engage when dealing with Western leaders. America's feeble response during this challenge undoubtedly confirmed in the minds of Arab leaders that the Western world is essentially weak and can easily be manipulated. As JBK pointed out, there were 'substantial grounds for...

The Postcolonial Orient: The Politics of Difference and the Project of Provincialising Europe
ISBN: 9789004231863 / Angielski / Twarda / 436 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In The Postcolonial Orient, Vasant Kaiwar presents a far-reaching analysis of the political, economic, and ideological cross-currents that have shaped and informed postcolonial studies preceding and following the 1989 moment of world history. The valences of the 'post' in postcolonialism are unfolded via some key historical-political postcolonial texts showing, inter alia, that they are replete with elements of Romantic Orientalism and the Oriental Renaissance. Kaiwar mobilises a critical body of classical and contemporary Marxism to demonstrate that far richer understandings of...

States and Power in Africa: Comparative Lessons in Authority and Control - Second Edition
ISBN: 9780691164137 / Angielski / Twarda / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Theories of international relations, assumed to be universally applicable, have failed to explain the creation of states in Africa. There, the interaction of power and space is dramatically different from what occurred in Europe. In States and Power in Africa, Jeffrey Herbst places the African state-building process in a truly comparative perspective. Herbst's bold contention--that the conditions now facing African state-builders existed long before European penetration of the continent--is sure to provoke controversy, for it runs counter to the prevailing assumption that...

Rule by Numbers: Governmentality in Colonial India
ISBN: 9780739189351 / Angielski / Twarda / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book examines aspects of the production of statistical knowledge as part of colonial governance in India using Foucault's ideas of "governmentality." The modern state is distinctive for its bureaucratic organization, official procedures, and accountability that in the colonial context of governing at a distance instituted a vast system of recordation bearing semblance to and yet differing markedly from the Victorian administrative state. The colonial rule of difference that shaped liberal governmentality introduced new categories of rule that were nested in the procedures and records and...

Not Like a Native Speaker: On Languaging as a Postcolonial Experience
ISBN: 9780231151450 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although the era of European colonialism has long passed, misgivings about the inequality of the encounters between European and non-European languages persist in many parts of the postcolonial world. This unfinished state of affairs, this lingering historical experience of being caught among unequal languages, is the subject of Rey Chow's book. A diverse group of personae, never before assembled in a similar manner, make their appearances in the various chapters: the young mulatto happening upon a photograph about skin color in a popular magazine; the man from Martinique hearing himself...

Beyond Britain: Stuart Hall and the Postcolonializing of Anglophone Cultural Studies
ISBN: 9781783481453 / Angielski / Twarda / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Is Stuart Hall a Cultural Studies Scholar or a Postcolonial Scholar? Or is it better to engage with his work as an intellectual of both fields? Postwar Britain witnessed the concurrent evolution of two new intellectual movements which have since become institutionalized as two major academic fields of enquiry; Cultural Studies and Postcolonial Studies. Although both fields are enormously diverse they have developed a parallel focus around the place of individuals in terms of race, ethnicity, class and gender. Beyond Britain offers a history of the major ideas that have shaped the evolution of...

ISBN: 9781784530518 / Angielski / Miękka / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How does our colonial past echo through today's global politics? How have former empire-builders sought vindication or atonement, and formerly colonized states reversal or retribution?

The Psychopolitics of the Oriental Father: Between Omnipotence and Emasculation
ISBN: 9781137462657 / Angielski / Twarda / 243 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. With a foreword by Slavoj Zizek.
The Psychopolitics of the Oriental Father problematizes the East/West dimorphism, especially focusing on the so-called 'Modernisation' or 'Westernisation' processes in the Ottoman Empire and Turkey. Its main hypothesis is that 'Modernisation' and 'Westernisation' are only euphemisms for the advent of capitalism in Asiatic and African societies, which lead to fatal transformations of the cultural and political incarnatations of the Oriental Father. The end result is a transitory rebirth of Freud's Primordial Father during the construction of the... With a foreword by Slavoj Zizek.

The Changing Face of Land and Conservation in Post-Colonial Africa: Old Land, New Practices?
ISBN: 9781138832732 / Angielski / Twarda / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The year 2013 marked the 100th anniversary of the 1913 Land Act in South Africa which legalised the violent dispossession and alienation of the African majority from the land. It is common cause that the alienation of land for conservation purposes, introduced to Africa under colonial rule, has continued more or less uninterrupted until today. However, while nature conservation practices inevitably raise challenging questions relating to land and land use, there has thus far been little concentrated effort to bring together scholars working on the land question, particularly around issues of...

The Postcolonial Orient: The Politics of Difference and the Project of Provincialising Europe
ISBN: 9781608464791 / Angielski / Miękka / 415 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this far-reaching and insightful work, Vasant Kaiwar analyzes the political, economic, and ideological cross-currents that have shaped and informed postcolonial studies. Kaiwar mobilizes Marxism to demonstrate that subaltern studies is marred by orientalism, and that far richer understandings of 'Europe' not to mention 'colonialism', 'modernity' and 'difference' are possible without a postcolonialism captive to phenomenological-existentialism and post-structuralism.

This book attempts to understand the nature and course of change and reform in the bureaucracies of the six colonies in Australia following the launching of responsible government in the 1850s.

The Settler Colonial Present
ISBN: 9781137372468 / Angielski / Twarda / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Settler colonial studies emerged in the last two decades as a subfield of comparative scholarly research. The Settler Colonial Present explores the ways in which settler colonialism as a mode of domination survived the age of decolonisation and reflects on the ways in which settler colonial studies can help making sense of the current dispensation. Rather than a thing of the past, or something affecting remote semi-peripheries, settler colonialism emerges as a crucial feature of the global present.
