| Abstract | The focus of postcolonial studies has shifted in the last decade or so from a struggle over history, the narratives of winners and losers—as recorded by the winners and resisted by the losers—to a struggle over geography. Power inequities formerly embodied in Manichean conceptualizations (Colonizer/Colonized, Oppressor/Oppressed, Occidental/Oriental, Self/Other, First World/Third World, Center/Margin, Global/Local) are now interrogated as part of the complex and shifting operations of "spatial economies of power."² Discursive approaches, targeting the relational and productive rather than the mutually exclusive and reductive, interrogate issues of meaning and representation, subjectivity and agency, culture and imperialism, identity and power.' The world that many of us are today engaged in, whether as actual or armchair travelers, is a world of migrant subjectivities where we struggle with the affiliations and ideologies, the cultural particularities and international connections that map the situatedness of each of us. |
