Towards a Historical and Categorial Critique of Postcolonial Studies -- 5 Uses and Abuses of Marx -- 6 The Postcolonial Orient -- References -- Index.In The Postcolonial Orient , Vasant Kaiwar presents a far-reaching analysis of the political, economic, and ideological cross-currents that have shaped and informed postcolonial studies preceding and following the 1989 moment of world history. The valences of the ‘post’ in postcolonialism are unfolded via some key historical-political postcolonial texts showing, inter alia, that they are replete with elements of Romantic Orientalism and the Oriental Renaissance. Kaiwar mobilises a critical body of classical and contemporary Marxism to demonstrate that far richer understandings of ‘Europe’ not to mention ‘colonialism’, ‘modernity’ and ‘difference’ are possible than with a postcolonialism captive to phenomenological-existentialism and post-structuralism, concluding that a narrative so enriched is indispensable for a transformative non-Eurocentric internationalism.Historical materialism book series ;Volume 68.OrientalismHistoriographyPostcolonialismAsiaHistoriographyPostcolonialismIndiaHistoriographyPostcolonialismStudy and teaching (Higher)Difference (Philosophy)Political aspectsWorld politics1989-AsiaRelationsEuropeEuropeRelationsIndiaIndiaRelationsEuropeEuropeRelationsAsiaOrientalismHistoriography.PostcolonialismHistoriography.PostcolonialismHistoriography.PostcolonialismStudy and teaching (Higher)Difference (Philosophy)Political aspects.World politics325/.30722Kaiwar Vasant1950-1654401MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910821799003321The postcolonial Orient4006200UNINA
