Austin Reed first posted the trouillot book on the list. I read section of
it and thought it was quite interesting. The guy is from Haiti and the book
is called Silencing the Past: Power and production of History. Its published
by Beacon Press: Boston, 1995. He teaches at Johns Hopkins. The book is
about Caribbean History and has a wonderful chapter titled Good Day,
Columbus. Its a slim book about 190 pages. If anyone else has read it I
would love to have a discussion.

Afzar wanted to know something about me--I currently am an assistant
professor at the Univ. of Maryland College Park. I actually got my Ph.D next
door to you Afzar, at Univ. of washington in Seattle in 1991. I have
published some essays one in Modern Fiction Studies on Ondaatje and Suleri;
one in Genders on Desai and nationalism; the essay on Spivak that I
mentioned in Hypatia, an essay in an anthology out from Westview on Bhabha
Jasmine and the Buddha of Suburbia--the anthology is called Reshaping the
World: towards an International Cultural studies; and a few others. My book
titled En-Gendering India: Woman and Nation in Colonial and Postcolonial
Narratives is now under review. I am from calcutta via Bombay and have now
lived in this country for about ten years. I originally got my masters from
a small univ. Miami Univ. in Ohio. I already had a masters from calcutta but
had to redo it here. That's it I guess. Sangeeta email: sr42-AT-umail.umd.edu
