Subject: Re: de-hegemonizer (with american spellings)


	Sure!  The most famous discussion occurs in the *Intervention* interview.
Here is the bibliographical information:  "Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak:  The
*Intervention* Interview."  Interviewers are Terry Threadgold and Frances
Bartkowski.  *Southern Humanities Review* 22.4 (1988):  323-343.
	Also, in its section dedicated to Spivak, the Emory Postcolonial Studies
website contains some related information.

All the best,
