Review: "In this book Stephen Morton offers an advanced introduction to and critique of Spivak's work. He examines her engagements with philosophers and other thinkers from Kant to Paul de Man, feminists from Cixous to Helie-Lucas and literary texts by Charlotte Bronte, J. M. Coetzee, Mahasweta Devi and Jean Rhys. Spivak's thought is also situated in relation to subaltern studies. Throughout the book, Morton interrogates the materialist basis of Spivak's thought and demonstrates the ethical and political commitment which lies at the heart of her work."--BOOK JACKET.
