The Decolonization of Imagination paves the way for a truly global cultural politics. Acknowledging that both the West and the former colonized have been shaped by colonial imaginaries, the book explores a wide range of cultural decolonization strategies. A distinguished cast of contributors, from both North and South, looks at the relations between culture and power, domination and the imagination in a variety of contexts.

This important contribution to post-colonial theory will be essential reading for all students and academics in cultural studies, literary studies, political and social theory and development studies.
