The Post-colonial Critic. Interviews, Strategies, Dialogues

Gayatri Spivak, one of our best known cultural and literary theorists, addresses a vast range of political questions with both pen and voice. The Post-Colonial Critic brings together a selection of interviews and discussions in which she has taken part over the past five years ; together they articulate some of the most compelling political and theoretical issues in contemporary criticism. In these lively texts, students of Spivak's work will identify her unmistakable voice as she speaks to questions of representation and self-representation, the politicization of deconstruction, the situations of post-colonial critics, pedagogical responsibility, and political strategies.
