Grounded in the revolutionary Marxist view that "theory becomes a material force when it has seized the masses," Teaching SpivakOtherwise: A Contribution to the Critique of the PostTheory Farrago activates the practice of critique as a mode of "teaching otherwise" for transformative social change. Taking the posttheory teachings of Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak as its central focus, author Jerry D. Leonard meticulously unpacks Spivaks fashionably dense writings and "talks." His analyses reveal that what passes for "radical" thought in the dominant humanities is actually a sustained mystification that attempts to erase class struggle and class critique from the realm of knowledge. One of the books most significant interventions is its powerful appropriation of "close reading" as a strategy in the broader project of ideology critique. Teaching SpivakOtherwise does for Spivak what Frederick Engels did for Eugen Dhring and Mao Zedong did for Deng Xiaoping: it teaches the class lesson that Spivaks thought is a complexly obscured articulation of "new" ruling class ideas in what Lenin called "a farrago of contrasting principles , an urge to rise verbally to the higher spheres and conceal the conflicts between the historical groups of the population with phrases." This book will be a useful supplementary text for undergraduate and graduate courses in contemporary critical theory and pedagogy.
