'Transcending the conventional postcolonial arena of literary and cultural studies, 'Postcolonial Economies' signals that postcolonialism has lost none of its potential to provoke and surprise; setting fresh agendas. - Professor James D Sidaway, University of Amsterdam 'This innovative collection rises to the theoretical and methodological challenge of bringing together into constructive dialogue the often antagonistic literatures on postcolonialism and (political) economy. With vibrant chapters drawing on material from across the globe, and examples from Islamic financial institutions to creative literature, Postcolonial Economies points to fascinating theoretical and politically-engaged directions for future research.' - Dr Jo Sharp, University of Glasgow 'This collection presents an exciting mix of scholars attuned to the productivity of postcolonial thinking who are listening, watching, moving around and toward economies in new ways. The editors and authors break new ground, expanding both the scope of postcolonial analysis and established understandings of the economic, and thereby opening up provocative research agendas.' - Katherine Gibson, Centre for Citizenship and Public Policy University of Western Sydney
