It is also a school of thought popular because of its rejection of the supposedly universalizing categories of the Enlightenment. In this devastating critique, mounted on behalf of the radical Enlightenment tradition, Vivek Chibber offers the most comprehensive response yet to postcolonial theory. Focusing on the hugely popular Subaltern Studies project, Chibber shows that its foundational arguments are based on a series of analytical and historical misapprehensions. He demonstrates that it is possible to affirm a universalizing theory without succumbing to Eurocentrism or reductionism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003ePostcolonial Theory and the Specter of Capital\u003c\/i\u003e promises to be a historical milestone in contemporary social theory.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVivek Chibber \u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Sociology at New York University.
