Criticism after Postcoloniality

How can we best forge a theoretical practice that directly addresses the struggles of once-colonized countries, many of which face the collapse of both state and society in today's era of economic reform? This book examines the ways in which modernity inserted itself into and altered the lives of the colonized.
