| Summary |
This important book critically addresses the b̀ecoming West' of Europe and investigates the b̀ecoming Modern' of the world. Drawing on the work of Derrida, Foucault, Levinas, Lyotard, Merleau-Ponty and Ricoeur, the book proposes that the question of postmodernity is inseparable from that of post-coloniality. |
