Reviews

An outstanding work of synthesis and critique, made even more valuable for its lucid, fair, and uncompromising discussion of postcolonial theories and thinkers. Because Krishna is able to move seamlessly between the political economy of underdevelopment and postcolonial literary theory and cultural studies, readers are able to grasp the connections among material, institutional, political, and cultural power on a global scale. This is an exemplary study of the power of postcolonial thought, itself written as a postcolonial text.--Itty Abraham
