Throughout her distinguished career, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak has
sought to locate and confront shifting forms of social and cultural
oppression. As her work shows, the best method for doing so is
through extended practice in the ethics of reading.
In "Readings," Spivak elaborates a utopian vision for the kind of
deep and investigative reading that can develop a will for peaceful
social justice in coming generations. Through her own analysis of
specific works, Spivak demonstrates modes in which such a vision
might be achieved. In the examples here, she pays close attention
to signposts of character, action, and place in J. M. Coetzee's
"Summertime" and Elizabeth Gaskell's "North and South." She also
offers rereads of two of her own essays, addressing changes in her
own thinking and practice over the course of her career. Now in her
fifth decade of teaching, Spivak passes on her lessons through
anecdote, interpretation, warning, and instruction to students and
teachers of literature. She writes, "I urge students of English to
understand that utopia does not happen, and yet to understand,
also, their importance to the nation and the world. Indeed, I know
how hard it is to sustain such a spirit in the midst of a hostile
polity, but I urge the students to consider the challenge."
