The Institute of Postcolonial Studies is an autonomous educational
institution located in Melbourne, Australia. It has linkages to
major universities and research bodies both in Australia and
internationally. The Institute's book series Writing Past
Colonialism aims to communicate the unique intellectual excitement
and academic excellence that characterize the Institute to a
broader global constituency. The leitmotiv of the series is the
idea of difference--"differences between culture and politics, as
well as differences in ways of seeing and the sources that can be
drawn upon. In this sense, the series is postcolonial. Yet the
space the Institute hopes to open up is one resistant to new
orthodoxies, one that allows for alternative and contesting
formulations.Though grounded in studies relating to the formerly
colonized world, the series seeks to extend contemporary global
analyses. Postcolonizing the International brings post-colonialism
directly into engagement with contemporary international studies,
while at the same time reflecting back on the discourse, noting
certain blindspots and shortcomings in critique. Reversing the
established agenda, it begins with the position of non-European
societies and the legacies of colonialism. Two companion essays on
knowledge formations about the international and the changing
nature of the political are followed by challenging
reinterpretations of contemporary global politics focusing on race,
skewed development, cultural difference, and everyday life.
Individual chapters speak to the significance of consumption and
commodification, the need for redirecting Western development
stategies, initiatives of the Tibetan cabinet in exile,
andsexuality as metaphor.
