Description

Postcoloniality as a model for philosophical practice is the central argument of this thought-provoking book by Namita Goswami. Drawing on continental philosophy, postcolonial criticism, critical race theory and African American and postcolonial feminisms, Goswami explores how postcoloniality can empower us to engage more productively with relationships between disciplines.

By challenging Eurocentrism and the idea that difference is inherently oppositional, Goswami reveals a postcolonial pluralism that expands philosophical resources and opens up new areas of inquiry. This book's interdisciplinary approach makes unexpected connections and continuities, confounding our habitual disciplinary lexicons in the process.

Through its exploration of heterogeneity, Subjects That Matter offers a fresh perspective on how philosophy, feminism and postcolonial theory can work together to better understand subjectivity and agency.
