Postcolonial approaches to understanding economies are of
increasing academic and political significance as questions about
the nature of globalization, transnational flows of capital and
workers, and the making and re-making of territorial borders assume
center stage in debates about contemporary economies and policy.
Despite the growing academic and political urgency in understanding
how "other" cultures encounter "the West," economics-oriented
approaches within social sciences (e.g., Development Economics,
Economic Geography, and the discipline of Economics itself) have
been slow to engage with the ideas and challenges posed by
postcolonial critiques. In turn, postcolonial approaches have been
criticized for their simplistic treatment of "the economic" and for
not engaging with existing economic analyses of poverty and wealth
creation. Utilizing world-wide examples drawn from India to Latin
America, "Postcolonial Economies" breaks new ground in providing a
space for nascent debates about postcolonialism and its treatment
of "the economic," bringing together scholars in a range of
disciplines, including Geography, Economics, Development Studies,
History, and Women's Studies.
