Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Postcolonial Economies - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Postcolonial approaches to understanding economies are of increasing academic and political significance as questions about the nature of globalisation transnational flows of capital and workers and the making and re - making of territorial borders assume centre stage in debates about contemporary economies and policy. Despite the growing academic and political urgency in understanding how 'other cultures encounter 'the west' economics - oriented approaches within social sciences have been slow to engage with the ideas and challenges posed by postcolonial critiques. In turn postcolonial approaches have been criticised for their simplistic treatment of 'the economic and for not engaging with existing economic analyses of poverty and wealth creation. Utilising examples drawn from India to Latin America and bringing together scholars from a range of disciplines including Geography Economics Development Studies History and Women's Studies Postcolonial Economies breaks new ground in providing a space for nascent debates about postcolonialism and its treatment of 'the economic'.
