Produktbeschreibung

""Organizing Empire" makes an important contribution to postcolonial theory. Through her theorization of individualism, Purnima Bose opens up in compelling ways the counterpossibilities of collective agency and helps move the discussion of anticolonial resistance from a generalized 'subject' to the analysis of specific conjunctures of resistant practice."--David Lloyd, author, "Ireland after History"
