Postcolonial Agency - Critique and Constructivism

Klappentext Attending to a tradition within Western philosophy developed by Spinoza, Nietzsche, Bergson, and Deleuze, Simone Bignall argues that a nonimperial concept of social and political agency and a postcolonial philosophy of material transformation are embedded within aspects of poststructuralist social philosophy. Bignall's study engages readers with respect to their affective communities and concrete ethics of relationship, providing each with a valuable conceptualization of postcolonial sociability. Zusammenfassung Newly available in paperback! this book complements and balances the attention given by postcolonial theory to the revitalisation and recognition of the agency of colonised peoples.
