Abstract

This article is a response to the current reduction of postcolonial work in communication studies and the broader rejection of postcolonial theory in the humanities in favor of globalization studies. We detail the current relationships between postcolonial and globalization scholars to advance the claim that neither field is sufficient without a critical engagement of the other. To trace the important ways in which a joint postcolonial-globalized reading attends to the complexities of contemporary global culture, we focus on the adoption of the historical Palestinian kufiyya by war activists, fashion icons, and antiterrorism constituencies in the United States.
