Description
Book SynopsisGary Y. Okihiro presents the intellectual history of the core ideas, concepts, methods, and theories of Third World studies—an academic field first proposed in 1968 that never existed—in order to provide tools for understanding power and ending oppression.
Trade Review"Okihiro makes an exciting and innovative contribution to the scholarship on Third World studies by analysing a range of topics. It will make an excellent reading for anyone interested in the interplay between politics and framing of subjectivities and would be particularly useful for undergraduate and graduate courses on postcolonial studies, critical pedagogy and international politics." -- Ananya Sharma * Postcolonial Studies *
