Rezensionen

'Outside in the Teaching Machine is a necessary guide to responsible reading and teaching. Whether literary texts such as Rushdie's The Satanic Verses and Coetzee's Foe, philosophy, or films, Spivak's indefatigable in her questioning of contemporary pieties and in insisting that it is the study of culture that "can help us chart the production of versions of reality".' - Jean Franco, Columbia University
