In this classic work, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, one of the leading and
most influential cultural theorists working today, analyzes the
relationship between language, women and culture in both Western and
non-Western contexts. Developing an original integration of powerful
contemporary methodologies - deconstruction, Marxism and feminism -
Spivak turns this new model on major debates in the study of literature
and culture, thus ensuring that In Other Worlds has become a valuable
tool for studying our own and other worlds of culture.
