Books by Neil (University of Warwick) Lazarus

In this magisterial and, at times, polemical study, Neil Lazarus sets the agenda for the future of postcolonial studies, probing how the field has come to develop in the directions it has and why and how it can grow further.

This wide-ranging study includes extended discussions of Frantz Fanon, C. L. R. James, Edward Said, Gayatri Spivak, Samir Amin, Raymond Williams, Paul Gilroy and Partha Chatterjee. Neil Lazarus's book offers a politically focused, materialist intervention into postcolonial and cultural studies, and constitutes a major reappraisal of politics and culture in these fields.
