I’m no scholar of postcolonial thought [I’ve only read Fanon], but Julian Go’s chapter is fabulous!
During, I thought a lot about Derrida’s binary oppositions, obviously, but also Graham Priest’s work on dialetheism. How many valuable metapholosophies have been lost in favor of a Western ‘canon’?
Wish he characterized what the metaphysics of “decolonizing consciousness” looks like.

Not sure about world-systems theory. I’m certainly not an authority, but I get the feeling that WST is somewhat reductive. Not in an awful way, and there’s nothing I can really reject (other than the assertion that the US is a “moral leader” [111], perhaps…), I just get the feeling that you can’t confront the economic force of colonialism without paying attention to its cultural impacts. Is that unfair?

Wowie!! Sociology is so alien to me (and occasionally frustrating to me from a philosophy perspective,) but so so fun! I’ve always been a critical theory fan, and I’ve been branching into literary theory (Kristeva I promise I will get back to you soon) but sociological theory is actually a blast. Micro-sociology is awesome - especially dramaturgy. Going to read more Goffman now!
