Summary:
"This book examines anti-imperialist thought in European philosophy. It features an international group of both emerging and established scholars who directly respond to Timothy Brennan's far-reaching call to rethink intellectual histories, literary histories, and the reading habits of postcolonialism, in relation to anti-imperialist tradition of critique. This book offers a long overdue engagement with the theoretical and literary contributions of Timothy Brennan in post-colonial studies, deepening our understanding of Brennan's insights in literary traditions and ecologies. Each contributor rethinks postcolonial and world literature, Continental thought, and intellectual history in relation to anti-imperialist histories and traditions of critique, through geographically diverse analysis. This book provides a forum for the next generation of scholars to draw on and engage with the marginal yet influential work of the first generation of dissidents within postcolonial studies. It will appeal to researchers and students in the field of postcolonial studies, world literature, and Continental Thought"-- Provided by publisher.
