    Description

    Orient Blackswan Pvt. Ltd. Geopolitics Of Academic Writing,A(Pul) by CANAGARAJAH SUR

    A Geopolitics of Academic Writing critiques current scholarly publishing practices and principles, exposing the inequalities in the way academic knowledge is constructed and legitimized. A. Suresh Canagarajah a periphery scholar now working in (and writing from) the center examines the broad Western conventions governing academic writing and argues that their dominance leads to the marginalization of appropriation of the knowledge of Third World communities. “This is bold and intellectually honest attempt to deal with the ethnography of writing focusing on the post-Foucauldian problem of power-knowledge as it applies to the unequal relationship between centers of academic power located in the United States and Europe and various peripheries located mostly in the Third World.” Gananath Obeyesekere, Princeton University “Canagarajah deepens and sharpens our understanding of the luxury of ordinary research, writing, and publishing practices even as he guides us through a thicket of extraordinary postcolonial barriers to the democratization of academic scholarship and publication.” Linda Brodkey, University of California, San Diego “Will stand as a landmark for decades to come” Lester Faigley, University of Texas
