Abstract
AbstractThis study rethinks Dipesh Chakrabarty’s engagement with Marx and Vivek Chibber’s recent critique of postcolonialism in order to offer a new reading of the state of postcolonial studies. It explores the Hegelian dimension of Chakrabarty’s Provincializing Europe and interprets Chibber’s critique of postcolonialism as an attempt to save the Enlightenment from capitalism. The study draws on a number of Marxist theorists to synthesize these two positions, ultimately proposing a class-oriented politics that points beyond capitalism. By accounting for the unevenness capital produces, the article explores the possibilities for a politics of history that is oriented not toward the past but toward the future, in particular, a future beyond capitalism.
