Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - human rights issues

Her speeches make more sense than her performative superiorist texts. See my criticism of one of her books: pardon the typos, should read 'or' not 'of' theory of recolonization:

"Z is for Zero and N is for Nigger:" Postcolonial Theory of Theory for Recolonization? | Agozino | West Africa Review

Simultaneously privileged as an elite, even esoteric intellectual currently teaching at Columbia University, and marginalized as a "Third-World woman," "hyphenated-American," and Bengali exile, Spivak uses deconstruction to address the ways in which she is in fact complicit in the production of social formations that she ostensibly opposes."

After listening to five of Spivak's lectures, thanks to you tube,  I have to say that

the above description of Spivak seems quite appropriate. "Eclectic and contradictory" sums it all up- subject to new information.
