Sankaran Krishna is professor of political science at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
An outstanding work of synthesis and critique, made even more
valuable for its lucid, fair, and uncompromising discussion of
postcolonial theories and thinkers. Because Krishna is able to move
seamlessly between the political economy of underdevelopment and
postcolonial literary theory and cultural studies, readers are able
to grasp the connections among material, institutional, political,
and cultural power on a global scale. This is an exemplary study of
the power of postcolonial thought, itself written as a postcolonial
text.

Globalization and Postcolonialism traces two competing views of
international developments—neoliberal globalization and
postcolonialism—to their roots in earlier narratives of
modernization and underdevelopment. The arguments are coherent,
sparkling with ideas, and full of insights. This brilliant book
points to new directions in research in international
relations.
*Siba N. Grovogui, Johns Hopkins University*
Displaying a truly impressive command of a broad range of
scholarship, this beautifully written book is an invaluable
resource for anyone who is interested in the theories and practices
of globalization and postcolonialism.
*Srirupa Roy, University of Massachusetts-Amherst*
