jellyfishes's review against another edition
4.0
This is an excellent book, and it's clear why it has become one of the seminal works in postcolonialism. It's pretty empirical for my tastes, but paired with my own tendency towards the qualitative, that turned out alright. I'm sure I'll reread parts of this at some point in college/grad school, which will be nice. The way this challenges the postcolonial canon is both noble and thorough. This is also deeply infuriating.
