- Description
- This book reaffirms what is most basic in feminism : the attack on the “universality” and sovereignty of Man , but contends that the only way this can mean anything other than pessimistic rhetoric is to embrace human agency and the struggle against colonialism and capitalism. In a series of “creolized” readings , Foucault with Ali Shari’ati, Lacan with Fanon, and Spinoza with Sylvia Wynter , the authors demonstrate what is at stake in the ongoing debate between humanism and posthumanism, putting this debate in the context of contemporary global crises and the possibilities of revolution.
