Title: Blithering Drivel
Product review: Warning: this book is filled with "postmodern" drivel. There is scarcely a shred of intellectual integrity to be found in the book. Its content is impoverished at best, brain-dead at worst. Here is a random single-sentence quote, from p.139, so that you may judge for yourself: "In the context of postmodernist theories, the hybridity and ambivalences of our cultures and our senses of belonging seem to challenge the binary logic of Self and Other that stands behind modern colonialist, sexist, and racist constructions." If a binary logic of Self and Other stands behind my conception of colonialism, etc, then I will eat my computer.When encountering such a book, it is best to avert the eyes and pass quietly by. Those who feel so inclined are encouraged to utter a prayer for the academic institutions infected with this appalling disease.
