Ranjana Khanna

Dark Continents

Psychoanalysis and Colonialism

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"Ranjana Khanna articulates and outlines a transnational feminist ethics. Such an ethics is badly needed and awaited with eagerness by many. "Dark Continents" is, indeed, a terrific integration of psychoanalytic thought with postcolonial and feminist politics by way of a critical intimacy with the combined ethics of ambiguity and difference."--Mieke Bal, University of Amsterdam
