In this book by Igor Maver, a foremost thinker from post-socialist Slovenia, the term "post-colonial," once a household term with its detailed history of cosmetic whims, takes a vertiginous dip, seethes for a while, with other master signifiers, in the caldron of diasporic theory, to then resurface, humbled and changed utterly.
