A Geopolitics of Academic Writing critiques current scholarly
publishing practices, exposing the inequalities in the way academic
knowledge is constructed and legitimized. As a periphery scholar
now working in (and writing from) the center, Suresh Canagarajah is
uniquely situated to demonstrate how and why contributions from
Third World scholars are too often relegated to the perimeter of
academic discourse. He examines three broad conventions governing
academic writing: textual concerns (matters of languages, style,
tone, and structure), social customs (the rituals governing the
interactions of members of the academic community), and publishing
practices (from submission protocols to photocopying and postage
requirements). Canagarajah argues that the dominance of Western
conventions in scholarly communication leads directly to the
marginalization or appropriation of the knowledge of Third World
communities.
