Sommario/riassunto

""Chowdhry and Nair, along with the authors of this volume, make a timely, vital, and deeply necessary intervention in international relations - one that informs theoretically, enriches our knowledge of the world through its narratives, and forces us to confront the differentiated wholeness of our humanity. Readers will want to emulate the skills and sensibilities they offer..""Naeem Inayatullah, Ithaca CollegeThis work uses postcolonial theory to examine the implications of race, class and gender relations for the structuring or world politics.
