Postcolonial Book Review

14 Mar

This is an invitation and reminder that if any of you is interested in doing a book review for Postcolonial Networks, please let me know. If you already have a book that you’re interested in reviewing, great; otherwise, if you need suggestions, I have a growing list.

And, by the way, if you currently have a book out and you’ve had it for over 8 weeks, please message me of when to expect that review. If you’ve already reviewed a book, and interested in reviewing another, please message me as well, and tell me what book you’re interested in reviewing. I have some time this week to order book(s).

Thank you for your contribution to the conversation on postcolonialism, where the subaltern is re-presented, de-othered and re-othered, de-colonized, yet postcolonized, de-claimed and re-claimed, spoken for, and yet not spoken with, differentiated, yet no different, subjected and indigenized, liberated, yet dominated, exotified, yet commodified. historified, yet un-identified, individualized, yet institutionalized.  I could, perhaps, go on?! :)))

“Words empty out with age. Die and rise again, accordingly invested with new meanings, and always equipped with a secondhand memory.” Trinh T. Minh-ha

“The place of the subaltern, as complicated by imperialist project, is confronted by the ‘Subaltern Studies’ group. They must ask: Can the subaltern speak?” Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak
