A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

Other Asias is an eloquent plea for a pedagogy of continental scope that does not evade or erode the singular, textured life, thought and work of geographical regions and political minorities. The exemplary courage and extraordinary imagination that have distinguished Spivak′s work are now engaged in rich reflections on the political art of humanistic education.
Homi K. Bhabha, Harvard University

This deeply passionate, ethical, and political book tells us that we must pluralize Asia because it is only in a pluralized world that we can imagine a more just one.
Eduardo Cadava, Princeton University

Spivak s postcolonial perspective here offers an incomparable understanding of Asia in its multiplicity of differences, a tour–de–force from one of our era s most brilliant engaged and critical thinkers.
Robert J. C. Young, New York University

Quatrième de couverture :

In this major intervention into the Asian Century, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak challenges the reader to re–think Asia, in its political and cultural complexity, in the global South and in the metropole. Among the chapters in this volume are: Foucault and Najibullah, in which she looks at Afghanistan in its own historical and gendered narrative Moving Devi, in which she addresses the authority of autobiography and writes as a diasporic Responsibility, in which she examines the limits of theory upon the floodplains of Bangladesh Megacity, where she reads cyberliteracy in Bangalore. Other chapters focus on, among other things, Human Rights, and the turbulent present of the Caucasus.
