Description
Paul Gilroy's Postcolonial Melancholia is a provocative defence of multiculturalism in the face of neo-imperialist politics. Gilroy argues that the social pathology of colonialism has led to a failure to value the ordinary, unruly multiculture that has evolved in urban centres. Drawing on the work of Frantz Fanon, W. E. B. DuBois, and George Orwell, Gilroy crafts a nuanced argument that goes beyond mere tolerance to propose a way of celebrating multiculture and living with otherness without anxiety or violence.
