Description and Table of Contents
Description
This volume examines acts of resistance and subversion by people of colour as central to the unfolding dialogue with Western hegemony. The author questions the various cliches that stereotype Third World cultures. He analyzes a version of postcolonialism in US legitimizing discourse on the Philippines and explores the academic versions of multiculturalism and civil society. He revisits the memory of national liberation struggles (Fanon, Cabral, Che Guevara) on the face of the spread of globalized capitalism.
