The valences of the 'post' in postcolonialism are unfolded via some key historical-political postcolonial texts showing, inter alia, that they are replete with elements of Romantic Orientalism and the Oriental Renaissance. Kaiwar mobilises a critical body of classical and contemporary Marxism to demonstrate that far richer understandings of 'Europe' not to mention 'colonialism', 'modernity' and 'difference' are possible than with a postcolonialism captive to phenomenological-existentialism and post-structuralism, concluding that a narrative so enriched is indispensable for a transformative non-Eurocentric internationalism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47890693488791,"sku":"9789004231863","price":21827.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789004231863.webp?v=1781180952","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-postcolonial-orient-the-politics-of-difference-and-the-project-of-provincialising-europe-9789004231863","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
