Books by Couze Venn

This book frames speculation on what postcapitalist societies could be, with regimes of private accumulation replaced by a politics and ethics of a democratic and ecologically-grounded Commons.

What is postcolonial studies? What are its achievements, strengths and weaknesses? This book deals with one of the most important issues with special emphasis on neo-liberalism within world poverty and the 'third world'. It clarifies: the territory of postcolonial studies; how identity and postcolonialism relate; and more.

Drawing on the work of Derrida, Foucault, Levinas and Ricouer, this book proposes that the question of postmodernity is inseparable from that of postcolonialism. It maps out a new geneaology of the birth of the modern and suggests a new way of grounding the idea of an emancipation of being.
