The Boomerang Effect of Decolonization: Post-Orientalism and the Politics of Dif

Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE The Boomerang Effect of Decolonization by Maurice Jr. Labelle Scholars from various disciplines explore how, two decades after Aimé Césaire spoke of the imperial boomerang, Edward Saids Orientalism represented the beginnings of his attempts to appropriate the boomerangs recursive nature and empower decolonial processes that would transform everyone, for the betterment of all. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The 1978 publication of Edward Saids Orientalism unsettled the world. Over two decades earlier Aimé Césaire had famously spoken of the boomerang effect of colonization, which dehumanized both the colonizer and the colonized. Over time, Said and his 1978 book took Césaires anti-imperial critique one step further by enabling the boomerang effect of decolonization.Inspired by that intellectual trajectory, The Boomerang Effect of Decolonization redefines post-Orientalism in a relational and integrative way. This volume draws on the reception and critique of Saids ideas as well as his own attempts to appropriate the boomerangs recursive nature and empower decolonial processes that aimed to transform everyone, regardless of differences both imagined and real, for the betterment of all. Reflecting upon Orientalism, its legacies, and the myriad conversations it has generated, scholars from various disciplines examine acts of anti-racism and liberation through the lens of critical race theory. Covering topics including Saids anti-Orientalist world, Métis/Michif consciousness, writing by the French scholar Jacques Berque, the politics of allyship in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the convergence between healthcare and settler-colonialism in Northwestern Ontario, contributors explore the different paths critiques of imperial cultures and their politics of difference have travelled in Canada and abroad. Saids Orientalism reoriented both decolonization itself and his readers imaginations. By redefining post-Orientalism as a relational and inclusive mode of liberation, this volume offers tools to think about difference differently, centring its anti-racist framework on the relationship between misrepresented people and their rewritten histories. Contributors include Yasmeen Abu-Laban (Alberta), Rachad Antonius (UQAM), Sung Eun Choi (Bentley), Mary-Ellen Kelm (Simon Fraser), Allyson Stevenson (Saskatchewan), Mira Sucharov (Carleton), and Lorenzo Veracini (Swinborne).

Review "Just as Orientalism spurred further anti-Orientalist research, The Boomerang Effect of Decolonization encourages further engagement with decolonial epistemology and praxis in which the politics of identity sustain an inclusive, not assimilative, discourse of allyship that is neither purist nor exclusivist."
