Kostas Myrsiades, Jerry McGuire (Editors) Order and Partialities: Theory, Pedagogy, and the "Postcolonial". State University of New York Press, 1995. Interruptions: Border Testimony(ies) and Critical Discourse/s. First printing. 0791426408 415 pages. Softcover volume, measuring approximately 6" x 9", shows very light shelfwear. Binding is sound. Pages are clean and bright. ""Order and Partialities" explores the complex and problematic relations among postcolonial literatures and theories, the people who teach them at the university level, and the institutions in which they are taught. Each essay traces a path through these relations; yet each also comments on the fundamental paradox and contradiction within which these relations operate: that they must engage with the powerful, labyrinthine apparatus of Western cultural hegemony -- a set of systematic, interpretive procedures corresponding to, and in service of, a regime of ideological expectations and its institutional representatives -- in order to disengage themselves from its operations. There is no way to teach these relations without entering, oneself, into the entanglements of postcolonial power."
