In Other Words: Dialogizing Postcoloniality Race and Ethnicity is a collection of essays by
scholars and Americanists who labor under the conviction that the dynamically evolving field of
postcolonial studies facilitates the development of new ways of conceptualizing race and ethnic
studies. On guard against reductive statements and aware of the danger of blurring historical
differences the book encourages the reader to enter the dialogue between postcolonial studies
and discourses on race and ethnicity. It demonstrates rhetorical and conceptual affinities
between the fields and examines counter-narratives of resistance to imperial narratives and the
politics of dominance. Concurrently the anthology challenges the reader to engage in the
broader and trans-global reading of cultures marked by the experience of political exploitation
and erasure.
