Mapping the Colonial Aftermath: A Review of Leela Gandhi’s Postcolonial Theory
Abstract
Leela Gandhi’s Postcolonial Theory: A Critical Introduction is a theoretical approach with a methodological framework that aims to examine post-colonial studies. The book also sheds light on the methods by which it will be attainable to scrutinize the challenges faced by thinkers, intellectuals, and theorists, achieving a rich interpretation of the suffering that casts its shadow on literary writings. This review delves into Gandhi’s integration of poststructuralism, Marxism, and feminism. Besides, her exceptional revival of Mohandas Gandhi’s moral non-violence. By examining the academic responses of critics such as Arif Dirlik and Bart Moore-Gilbert, this article sheds light on the strategy that Gandhi follows to alter the discipline from "oppositional fatigue" toward a "non-injurious" moral future.
