Things Fall Away - Philippine Historical Experience and the Makings of Globalization

Informationen zum Autor Neferti X. M. Tadiar Klappentext "The study of the Philippines, one of Europe's earliest and the US's first colonies, obliges the rethinking of colonial histories. In the growing body of crucial work on the Philippines, Neferti X. M. Tadiar's "Things Fall Away" is indispensable reading, a compelling rethinking of both postcolonial theory and transnational feminism. A richly poetic lament for the things that fall away, it dares still to descry in cast-aside affect and in occluded practices resources for the difficult labor of living otherwise."--David Lloyd, author of "Irish Times: Temporalities of Modernity" Zusammenfassung An argument that subaltern experiences that are devalued and overlooked in progressive late-twentieth-century Philippine literature have been essential to the social and economic changes wrought by globalization.
