Description

Postcolonial Theory and the Specter of Capital by Vivek Chibber offers a comprehensive critique of postcolonial theory, focusing on the Subaltern Studies project. Chibber argues that its foundational arguments are based on analytical and historical misapprehensions. By challenging these assumptions, Chibber demonstrates it is possible to affirm a universalizing theory without succumbing to Eurocentrism or reductionism. This book promises to be a significant milestone in contemporary social theory. Published by Verso Books, Postcolonial Theory and the Specter of Capital provides a thought-provoking exploration of postcolonial theory and its implications for our understanding of the Global South.
