- W2325973886 abstract "A book that promises Marxist intervention in the cultural critique of imperialism will quicken great expectations among those who are discontented with the frequent incuriosity about the inscriptions of political economy in its representational systems. As one such reader of Aijaz Ahmad's In Theory: Classes, Nations, Literatures,' I anticipated an analysis attentive to the making and effects of imperialism's independent practices, and commensurate with the present state of the debate. I am distressed, therefore, that Ahmad's collection of essays obliges me to write review where an inventory of errors, reductive procedures, and rancor must take precedence over consideration of the perspectives it might otherwise have offered to the continuing theorization of imperialism. Hence my concern at the outset is to associate myself with Ahmad's notion of the role critical activity can play in the socialist transformation of what he names as hierarchically structured world under the coercion of global capitalism. I must, however, also register my distaste for the conduct of an argument which, in deploying recrimination as an analytic strategy, misrepresenting the substance of alternative enquiries, and adducing these to retrograde ideological interests, cannot but recall that device of polemical assassination contrived long ago by traditional Communist parties in an attempt to disable other left tendencies. Ahmad's mission to effect a break with the existing theoretical formation in the discussion of imperialism derives from his allegation that this is now in the hands of literary theorists who practice a post-modern anti-colonialism derisive of Marxist discourse. While such charge is not without cause, it relies on conflating related but distinct and internally diverse disciplines: Colonial Discourse Analysis, theories of Third World Literature, Subaltern Studies, researches into African-American culture-even Salman Rushdie's fiction is included." @default.
