Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak is one of the most pre-eminent postcolonial
theorists writing today and a scholar of genuinely global reputation.
This collection, first published in 1993, presents some of Spivak's most
engaging essays on works of literature such as Salman Rushdie's
controversial Satanic Verses, and twentieth century thinkers such as
Jacques Derrida and Karl Marx. Spivak relentlessly questions and
deconstructs power structures where ever they operate. In doing so, she
provides a voice for those who can not speak, proving that the true work
of resistance takes place in the margins, Outside in the Teaching
Machine.
