Published twenty years ago, Leela Gandhi's Postcolonial Theory was
a landmark description of the field of postcolonial studies in
theoretical terms that set its intellectual context alongside
poststructuralism, postmodernism, Marxism, and feminism. Gandhi
examined the contributions of major thinkers such as Edward Said,
Gayatri Spivak, Homi Bhabha, and the subaltern historians. The book
pointed to postcolonialism's relationship with earlier anticolonial
thinkers such as Frantz Fanon, Albert Memmi, Ngu gi wa Thiong'o,
and M. K. Gandhi and explained pertinent concepts and schools of
thought-hybridity, Orientalism, humanism, Marxist dialectics,
diaspora, nationalism, gendered subalternity, globalization, and
postcolonial feminism. The revised edition of this classic work
reaffirms its status as a useful starting point for readers new to
the field and as a provocative account that opens up possibilities
for debate. It includes substantial additions: A new preface and
epilogue reposition postcolonial studies within evolving
intellectual contexts and take stock of important critical
developments. Gandhi examines recent alliances with critical race
theory and Africanist postcolonialism, considers challenges from
postsecular and postcritical perspectives, and takes into account
the ontological, environmental, affective, and ethical turns in the
changed landscape of critical theory. She describes what is
enduring in postcolonial thinking-as a critical perspective within
the academy and as an attitude to the world that extends beyond the
discipline of postcolonial studies.
