Reviews

'[I]t shows how the discipline is indispensable in assessing power, hierarchy, and differences in the humanities and the social sciences and, with a revisionary shift in postcolonial history in the post 9/11 world, is an important interlocutor in initiating global south-south dialogue about human rights, ecocriticism, digital humanities, cartography, religious dogmatism, sexuality, and neoliberalism. . . . The Postcolonial World will be of great interest to the students and teachers of postcolonial studies, and should be part of reading lists in undergraduate/graduate courses that are geared towards deconstructing the post in the postcolonial, and conceptualizing planetarity as an alternative to globalization.' - Reshmi Mukherjee: The Postcolonial World, South Asian Review, 2019
