The passage which I quoted earlier came from Asha's 2nd chapter,"Rethinking 
the Object" and her interest lies in the retrieval of Adorno's 
"dialectical negation." Her work,  a critical engagement with the ouvres 
of Adorno, Said, and Spivak, is very stimulating, especially her reading 
of Spivak. Asha's questions appear from the first paragraph of the second 
chapter, after which she gets goes onto rethink the object by by pointing 
us to the usefulness of Adorno's work on the dialectic. After  reading 
the book, I did not think that Asha's work was the usual diatribe of us and 
them. I liked the book helluva lot and very earnestly 
recommend it. Also, another book which I 
found useful, "Anne Mclintock's "Imperial Leather."
