The Dark Side of the Nation

Essays on Multiculturalism, Nationalism and Gender

By: Himani Bannerji

These feminist Marxist and anti-racist essays speak to important political issues. Though they begin from experiences of non-white people living in Canada, they provide a critical theoretical perspective capable of exploring similar issues in other western and also third world countries. This reading of 'difference' includes but extends beyond the cultural and the discursive into political economy, state, and ideology. It cuts through conventional paradigms of current debates on multiculturalism. In particular, these essays take up the notion of 'Canada' - as the nation and the state - as an unsettled ground of contested hegemonies. They particularly draw attention to how the state of Canada is an unfinished one, and how the discourse of culture helps it to advance the legitimation claim which is needed by any state, especially one arising in a colonial context, with unsolved nationality problems. The myth of the 'two founding peoples', anglos and francophones, has always conveniently ignored the reality of First Nations. who may have a history of being indentured and politically marginalised and only begin struggling for political enfranchisement in their new homeland.

The Writing on the Wall

Essays on Culture and Politics

By: Himani Bannerji

An activist epistemology grounded in commitment" is the entry point to these provocative essays by renowned Toronto poet, critic and activist Himani Bannerji. Through critical discussions of Marxist theatre in Bengal, the anti-racist ad feminist poetry of Dionne Brand in Canada, the revolutionary poetry of Ernesto Cardenal in Nicaragua, a recent popular trend in Bengali fiction, and the films of Russian Andrei Tarkovsky, these essays provide acute, dispassionate insignts into politically committed cutural activity. What is a true people's theatre (as opposed to a middle-class version of one)? How is Marxism reconciled with Christianity in Nicaraguan revolutionary politics? What has been the role and status of women actors in India? How does the mind comprehend history, in the films of Andrei Tarkovsky, and why do they unsettle the Western sensibility? These are some of the questions addressed in this well-argued, informative, and engaging book.

Decolonization and Humanism

The Postcolonial Vision of Rabindranath Tagore

By: Himani Bannerji

This collection challenges the understanding of decolonization and humanism pervasive in post-Foucauldian postcolonial studies, in which the former signifies a positive good with the latter rejected as racializing colonial discourse. This formulation presents an epistemological confusion between the universalism of decolonization and particularism of an anti-humanism from an identitarian segmented perspective. A corrective is offered by exploring Rabindranath Tagore's (1861-1941) thoughts on hegemony and freedom, which he dislocates from the binary paradigm of tradition and modernity, thereby making a distinction between decolonization and cultural/ethnic nationalism. Tagore's writings provide the earliest classical example of anti-colonial critique.
