Can I read Levinas and the Postcolonial : Race, Nation, Other on EtoBox?
Levinas and the Postcolonial : Race, Nation, Other by John E. Drabinski is a nonfiction available to read on EtoBox.
What is Levinas and the Postcolonial : Race, Nation, Other about?
What can we learn from reading Levinas alongside postcolonial theories of difference? With that question in view, Drabinski undertakes readings of Gayatri Spivak, Homi Bhabha, Édouard Glissant, and Subcommandante Marcos in order to rethink ideas of difference, language, subjectivity, ethics, and politics. Through these philosophical readings, he gives a new perspective on the work of these important postcolonial theorists and helps make Levinas relevant to other disciplines concerned with postcolonialism and ethics. ## Winner of the The Frantz Fanon Award for Outstanding Book in Caribbean Thought 2014
