  • Intervenes in the fraught issues generated by ideas of Asia
  • Featured essays include Foucault and Najibullah, Moving Devi, Responsibility, and Megacity

  • Essential reading for anyone interested in postcolonialism, and devotees of Spivak's writing

Other Asias Reviews

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
