Description

In this volume well-known scholars from India and Latin America – Enrique Dussel, Madhu Dubey, Walter D.

Mignolo, and Sudipta Sen, to name a few – discuss the concepts of modernity and colonialism and describe how the two relate to each other.

This second edition to the volume comes with a new introduction which extends and critically supplements the discussion in the earlier introduction to the volume.

It explores the vital impact of the colonial pasts of India, Mexico, China, and even the Unites States, on the processes through which these countries have become modern.

The collection is unique, as it brings together a range of disciplines and perspectives.

The topics discussed include the Zapatista movement in Southern Mexico, the image of the South in recent African-American literature, the theories of Andre Gunder Frank about the early modernization of Asian countries, and the contradictions of the colonial state in India.
