Books in the Philosophy and Postcoloniality series

A theoretically informed study of five major pro- and anti-apartheid intellectuals, showing the inevitability of complex and compromised positions, and the impossibility of pure ones.

Presents a comprehensive social history of the cultural studies movement.
