Postcolonial Derrida [9781399554848]

Overview

Jacques Derrida remains one of the most renowned intellectuals in the areas of philosophy, literary studies, and cultural criticism today. Yet the close relationship between Derrida’s philosophical work and postcolonial theory – or their 'affinity,' as he once put it himself – has been largely neglected within contemporary scholarship. This book makes the case that Derrida’s work offers us an incisive engagement with the issues of colonialism, race, migration, and diaspora that distinguish postcolonial theory as such. Rather than rehearse the biographical details of his personal life, it provides a postcolonial reading of Derrida’s work by bringing him into conversation with a diverse array of anticolonial and postcolonial thinkers and writers from the Caribbean, Africa, and Asia, as well as various African American and French feminist thinkers and writers.
