Reviews
What truly distinguishes this volume is its attempt to find for postcolonial studies a real critical vocation at a time when the issue of Empire is once again a global subject of debate. Rich in scholarship and in the diversity of views represented here, this book will help renew the questions it addresses. --Dipesh Chakrabarty, author of Provincializing Europe: Postcolonial Thought and Historical Difference Postcolonial Studies and Beyond will have a place in reviewing and defining the development of postcolonial studies similar to that which Marxism and the Interpretation of Culture had for cultural studies. --David Lloyd, coeditor of The Politics of Culture in the Shadow of Capital An intelligent collection that boldly puts its very foundations on trial, and is a must for anyone with a stake in the production and perception of postcolonial studies... The last section is a fitting finale for a project designed to raise questions. --Robyn Schwartz, Altar Magazine This is an unqualifiedly enthusiastic review of a book that could not be more welcome. The essays that comprise Postcolonial Studies and Beyond are balanced--that is, among disciplinary approaches, thoughtful--that is, responsive to alternate ideas, and thankfully, lucidly written. --Nancy R. Cirillo, symploke There are stimulating, accessible pieces in this volume... The writers are also learned and smart, they make useful critiques of the largely conservative and neo-conservative regimes of knowledge that enabled colonialism and imperialism past and present, and they look sincerely for the future of their field. -- Bruce Avery, Shakespeare Studies
