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." satish --- from list postcolonial-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu --- ------------------
