Book excerpt: Homi Bhabha: An Introduction and Critique is a pathbreaking three-volume study of the celebrated postcolonial scholar's work. McLaverty-Robinson's careful reading renders Bhabha's theories in plain English, without losing their meaning. In addition, McLaverty-Robinson's incisive critique cuts through the theoretical aura of Bhabha's work and explores whether his theories work in practice - either empirically or politically. This third and final volume explores the political content and implications of Bhabha's work. It explores Bhabha's political proposals, such as the ideas of a community of suffering and a right to narrate. It also explores Bhabha's relationship to neoliberalism and to the Eurocommunist current in the 1980s, and his critical engagements with liberalism, communitarianism, Marxism, critical race theory, Deleuze and Guattari, and Frantz Fanon. This volume also includes an entire chapter providing a background on neoliberalism, and a comprehensive index covering all three volumes.
