Ethics after Idealism - Theory-Culture-Ethnicity-Reading (Paperback)

"Methodologically situated in the contentious spaces between criticaltheory and cultural studies, and always attending to the implications of ethnicity, this book constitutes a unique intervention in contemporary cultural politics." --Social Semiotics

At a time when cultural identity has becomeintrinsic to the way we read our many "others," Rey Chow argues that whatdemands to be examined critically is no longer identity politics per se but theidealism -- especially in the sense of idealizing otherness -- that lies at theheart of identity politics. She discusses multiple cultural forms -- fiction, film, popular music, poetry, and essays -- and a range of cultural topics -- pedagogy, multiculturalism, fascism, sexuality, miscegenation, fantasy, nostalgia, andpostcoloniality.
