After Orientalism
The debate on Orientalism began some fifty years ago in the wake of decolonization. While initially considered a turning point, Edward Said’s Orientalism (1978) was in fact part of a larger academic endeavor – the political critique of “colonial science” – that had already significantly impacted the humanities and social sciences. In a recent attempt to broaden the debate, the papers collected in this volume, offered at various seminars and an international symposium held in Paris in 2010-2011, critically examine whether Orientalism, as knowledge and as creative expression, was in fact fundamentally subservient to Western domination. By raising new issues, the papers shift the focu...

The Call From Algeria
The speed with which Algeria has gone from symbol of revolutionary socialism to Islamic battleground has confounded most observers. Charting Algeria's political evolution from the turn of the century to the present, Robert Malley explores the historical and intellectual underpinnings of the current crisis. His analysis helps makes sense of the civil war that is tearing Algeria apart. Using contemporary Algerian politics as a case study of the intellectual movement labeled "Third Worldism," Malley's thoughtful analysis also elucidates the broader transformations affecting countries of the Third World that once embraced ideologies of state-centered radical change. Malley focuses on the interpl...
Le temps de la coopération
Au moment où les pays du Maghreb se libéraient l'un après l'autre de l'emprise coloniale, la mise en place simultanée d'une politique de coopération avec la France était paradoxale. C'était particulièrement sensible en Algérie, où le flux des rapatriés et militaires qui regagnaient massivement la métropole à l'issue d'une guerre impitoyable croisait celui des milliers de jeunes diplômés qui traversaient en sens inverse la Méditerranée, porteurs d'un espoir de réconciliation, de reconstruction et de développement partagé. Cette coopération fut intense dans l'enseignement supérieur, lieu par excellence où se négociaient des éléments de rupture et d'héritage avec le p...
Absolutely Postcolonial
This innovative book provides an incisive critique of well-established positions in postcolonial theory and a dramatic expansion in the range of interpretative tools available. Peter Hallward gives substantial readings of four significant writers whose work invites, to varying degrees, a singular interpretation of postcolonialism: Edouard Glissant, Charles Johnson, Mohammed Dib, and Severo Sarduy. Using a singular interpretation of postcolonialism is central to the argument this book makes, and to understanding the postcolonial paradigm.
