This book also shows how these theorists often challenge each others' conclusions about cultural power and don't, as some believe, collectively celebrate "the postnational." Central to these debates are the concepts of community, globalization, cosmopolitanism, Europe and European colonialism, modernity, and postcoloniality. |

| Publisher Description: Nationality Between Poststructuralism and Postcolonial Theory: A New Cosmopolitanism examines and interrogates recent work on nationality in literal, critical and cultural theory. Focusing on the work of Derrida, Deleuze and Guattari, Kristeva, Spivak, and Bhabha, it explores how, for these theorists, the concepts of community, the new International, nomadism, deterritorialization, cosmopolitanism, hospitality, the native informant, hybridity and postcolonial agency can provoke a different understanding of national identity. |
