Description
Summary:According to Dirlik, the postcolonial theory constructed in the last century and triumphed by trilingual third world academics in American and Western universities in the 1980s, with an emphasis on otherness, makes a well-intended complicity with neoliberal hegemony by treating culture as one of the main elements of capitalism. Melting the class relationships and resemblances into absolute otherness and differentness makes history a literal text of culturalism that has prepared an escape ground from the class. He adds that the West and East dilemma is a cultural difference, and the South and North dilemma is a political economic difference, and accenting on the first hides the second one.
