 An Extremely Fine Work June 3, 1999
3 out of 6 found this review helpful
I was both suprised and appalled to read the 1st review of this book. Clearly the author is one of the "anxious graduate students" that is referred to. Bhabha's writing is clear and engaging, and his thoughts and ideas fascinating. The depth of knowledge, combined with the profound ideas contained within, make this book one of the finest in its field, and mark Bhabha as one of the leading post-colonial theorists of his era and others too.
 Trivial April 8, 1999
3 out of 7 found this review helpful
Bhabha masks his interesting, if somewhat simple thoughts in an arcane poststructuralist discourse in order to hide their relative triviality. He is a very minor thinker who garners attention only because he has managed to be at the right place and at the right time to appeal to anxious graduate students desparate to have their thoughts validated by an apparently "difficult" authority. Strictly for the phonies.But the acknowledgements to this book must be seen to be believed. A more toadying series of comments has never been committed to paper--although I suppose Bhabha, if pressed, would hurriedly excuse their bootlicking tone as an ironic postcolonial strategy, hm? How convenient.
