Teilweise sehr schwer nachzuvollziehen, Spivaks Ideen sind sehr interessant und wohl auch komplex, aber selbst mit Vorwissen fand ich mich oftmals verloren, muss man wohl nochmal ran.

I read the chapter History and the essays it is based on for uni.

When I saw Spivak speak for the first time, she introduced herself as a hyphenated identitarian and I think I fell in love with her just for that. Most people know her for her essay "can the subaltern speak?" and this collection of essays builds on the same themes. She is at once a product of postcolonial studies and third world feminism but so so critical of it, which makes her ideas rigorous beyond belief. If you're not a fan of dense academic language, this is not the book for you. But really, you're missing out. It's so delicious.
