This Reader is positioned at the juncture where it can address these contestations. It makes available some of the classics of the field; engages with the issues raised by contemporary practitioners; but also offers several of the arguments that strongly critique postcolonial theory. Although postcolonial theory purports to be inter-disciplinary and frequently anti-foundationalist, traces of disciplinary formations and linearity have continued to haunt its articulations. This Reader, on the other hand, offers a uniquely inter-disciplinary mapping. It is concerned with three main areas: definitional problems and contests including the current challenges to postcolonial theory; the disciplining of knowledge, where the multiple resonances of the word disciplining are all engaged; and the location of practice where the relations between intellectual practice and historical conditions are explored.
