Postcolonial Interruptions, Unauthorised Modernities is a
ground-breaking work that revaluates the cultural and political
understandings of the world today from the perspective of the
south. Largely located in the Mediterranean, and in understandings
of a 'southern question' that extends beyond local and national
confines, the arguments and perspectives proposed seek to explore
the historical formation and political configurations of a multiple
modernity. Drawing upon the interdisciplinary lines of thought
developed within cultural and postcolonial studies, the work
develops a concept of heritage beyond the concerns and obsessions
of the Anglo-American world. It offers a counter-hegemony
construction of the figure of the migrant and 'other' as a
disruptive force in the construction of the idea of the West. It
proposes a rethinking of the geo-political economies of knowledge
and power, lived and viewed from elsewhere. This accessibility
written book should be of interest to anyone interested in the
construction of modernity and the future of postcolonial studies.
