It explores Bhabha's political proposals, such as the ideas of a community of suffering and a right to narrate. It also explores Bhabha's relationship to neoliberalism and to the Eurocommunist current in the 1980s, and his critical engagements with liberalism, communitarianism, Marxism, critical race theory, Deleuze and Guattari, and Frantz Fanon. This volume also includes an entire chapter providing a background on neoliberalism, and a comprehensive index covering all three volumes.
