Overview

The aim of the book is to reveal spaces of resistance and contestation through an engagement with political theory, literature and film from the postcolonial world, focussing mainly on the Middle East and South Asia. One of the main themes looks to postcolonial interpretations of the 'international' at the nexus of colonial modernity on the one hand and cosmopolitan late modernity on the other. In seeking to locate the subject of what we might understand as the postcolonial international, the aim is to trace the postcolonial subject's trajectory of movement -- from colonial modernity, to the postcolonial international, and now in the present, the late modern cosmopolitan -- as the subject comes to be reproduced, re-formed, re-inscribed, and transformed.
