Cultural Spaces0-8020-9190-3 Includes bibliographical references and index.Colonial discourse/power and 'spectacular resistance' -- Opposition and the (imp)possiblity of liberation -- Gandhism and resistance: transforming India -- Reconciliation as resistance: transforming South Africa -- Conclusion: postcolonialism and transformation."Despite being central to the project of postcolonialism, the concept of resistance has received only limited theoretical examination. Writers such as Frantz Fanon, Edward Said, and Homi K. Bhaba have explored instances of revolt, opposition, or subversion, but there has been insufficient critical analysis of the concept of resistance, particularly as it relates to liberation or social and cultural transformation. In Postcolonial Resistance, David Jefferess looks to redress this critical imbalance." "Jefferess argues that interpreting resistance, as these critics have done, as either acts of opposition or practices of subversion is insufficient. He discerns in the existing critical literature an alternative paradigm for postcolonial politics, and through close analyses of the work of Mohandas Gandhi and the South African reconciliation project, Postcolonial Resistance seeks to redefine resistance to reconnect an analysis of colonial discourse to material structures of colonial exploitation and inequality."--JacketCultural spaces.PostcolonialismSocial changeRevolutionsSocial aspectsPassive resistanceElectronic books.
