What happens with thinkers who operate outside the European
philosophical 'pedigree'? In this powerfully honed polemic, Dabashi
argues that they are invariably marginalised, patronised and
mis-represented.Challenging, pugnacious, but also stylish, Can Non-Europeans Think? forges a new perspective in postcolonial studies by looking at how intellectual debate continues to reinforce a colonial regime of knowledge, albeit in a new guise.
Based on years of intellectual work and activism, Dabashi delivers a provocative and insightful collection of observations and philosophical explorations, which is certain to unsettle and delight in equal measure.
