Book desription: Transaction Publishers, 2009. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. Dabashi (Iranian studies and comparative literature, Columbia U.) offers his reflections over the years on the question of who gets to represent whom and by what authority. More specifically, he points out that when racist representations--here of Muslims generally and Iranians in particular--are initiated in the most militarily powerful country in the world, a country that is already deeply engaged directly and by proxy in several wars against Muslims, there is a more deeply rooted claim to normative and moral agency than if that representation happened elsewhere. This phenomenon, he says, must be unearthed and examined. The directions of his thoughts include exilic intellectuals, the creative crisis of the subject, and empire without hegemony.
