About the Book

Postcolonialism and Political Theory delves into the critical intersection of postcolonial studies and political thought, challenging the restrictive frameworks of Western social and political theory. This volume examines:

  • How modernity and political thought appear from the perspective of those historically marginalized or subordinated

  • The racialized, gendered, and cultural subjectivities that reimagine society from outside Western dominance

  • The limitations and paradoxes of postcolonial theory in celebrating diversity

  • The complexities of postcolonial politics in settler societies that continue to marginalize indigenous peoples

The essays by renowned scholars revisit historical and modern contexts, exploring alterity, decolonization, and political subjectivity, making this work an essential resource for students and scholars of postcolonial studies, political theory, international relations, and cultural studies.
