by Neil Lazarus, 1999
This
wide-ranging study contains individual chapers on modernity,
globalization and the "West," nationalism and
decolonization, cricket and popular consciousness in the
English-speaking Caribbean, and African pop music. Neil Lazarus
offers extended discussions of the work of such influential writers,
critics and activists as Frantz Fanon, C. L. R. James, Edward Said,
Gayatri Spivak, Samir Amin, Raymond Williams, Paul Gilroy and Partha
Chatterjee. This book is a politically focused, materialist
intervention into postcolonial and cultural studies, and constitutes
a major reappraisal of the debates on politics and culture in these
fields.
