Abstract: "What truly distinguishes this volume is its attempt to find for postcolonial studies a real critical vocation at a time when the issue of Empire is once again a global subject of debate. Rich in scholarship and in the diversity of views represented here, this book will help renew the questions it addresses."-Dipesh Chakrabarty, author of Provincializing Europe: Postcolonial Thought and Historical Difference "Postcolonial Studies and Beyond will have a place in reviewing and defining the development of postcolonial studies similar to that which Marxism and the Interpretation of Culture had for cultural studies."-David Lloyd, coeditor of The Politics of Culture in the Shadow of Capital
