“Theoretically sophisticated, facts meticulously researched, delicately conducted readings. A new look at an established topic that takes into account our new world. A teaching text for the feminist postcoloniality classroom.”--Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, author of An Aesthetic Education in An Era of Globalization “Sushmita Chatterjee’s Postcolonial Hauntings is a spirited book that shows us that to be haunted by the past is to be alive to new meanings. Engaging closely with major texts in feminist and postcolonial studies, it offers both a distinctive voice and a playful ethical stance. Highly recommended.”--Sara Ahmed, author of Complaint!
