Theoretically sophisticated and meticulously situated at the
fraught scene of reconciliation between indigenous and
non-indigenous peoples in contemporary Australia, Postcolonial
Agency is an inspiring manifesto for non-imperial mutuality.
Bignall's advocacy of an ethics of joy opens up a new direction for
postcolonial studies. Professor Leela Ghandi, Department of
English, University of Chicago A sustained piece of theorisation
about the postcolonial to rival Peter Hallward's 'Absolutely
Postcolonial'. Simone Bignall argues that a non-imperial concept of
ethical and political agency and a materialist philosophy of
transformation are embedded within a minor tradition of Western
philosophy. Postcolonial Agency provides a significantly new
understanding of the processes of social transformation faced by
many societies as they struggle with the aftermath of empire. It
also offers a valuable new way of conceptualising practices of
postcolonial sociability. It will be of interest to students and
researchers in political and postcolonial studies, cultural
studies, critical theory and Continental philosophy.
