With its focus on cultural identities and mixtures, postcolonial theory ignored the larger context of capitalist relations and thus limited its scope to Western academia where it excelled in the game of growing and profiting from the liberal guilt feeling.

The book we were all waiting for—a burst of fresh air dispelling the stale aroma of the pseudo-radical academic establishment.'—Slavoj Žižek
