Reviews for Third World Studies: Theorizing Liberation
"Okihiro makes an exciting and innovative contribution to the scholarship on Third World studies by analysing a range of topics. It will make an excellent reading for anyone interested in the interplay between politics and framing of subjectivities and would be particularly useful for undergraduate and graduate courses on postcolonial studies, critical pedagogy and international politics."
