Description
Third World Studies Theorizing Liberation by Gary Y. Okihiro explores the methods and theories that might constitute the formation of Third World studies. This revised and expanded second edition considers the work of key intellectuals, such as M. N. Roy, José Carlos Mariátegui, and Oliver Cromwell Cox, and foregrounds the importance of Bandung and the Tricontinental.
Developing a distinct approach that begins with the colonized world and its anti-imperial, anticolonial, and antiracist projects, Okihiro analyzes the locations and articulations of power around axes such as race, gender, sexuality, class, and nation. This new edition also adds discussions of eugenics, feminist epistemologies, and religion.
With this work, Okihiro establishes Third World studies as a theoretical formation and a liberatory practice, providing a framework for understanding the complex power dynamics at play in the world today.
