Navigating modernity

About this book

"Placing the debate squarely within the discipline of international relations, Albert Paolini assesses the key personal and political dimensions of post-colonialism - one of the major political and cultural issues of the current era."--BOOK JACKET. "Paolini is concerned with the connections among postcolonialism, globalization, and modernity, and he offers one of the first detailed statements of those connections to be undertaken in the field of IR. Focusing on the Third World, and particularly sub-Saharan Africa, he questions dominant notions of identity and subjectivity in the social sciences."--BOOK JACKET.
