The work focuses on a subaltern local sovereignty movement called ""Telangana"" in India. Over the last ten years, this movement has engaged in a massive political mobilization, including strikes, rallies, work stoppages, occupation of public spaces, electoral contests, 200 and more political suicides and media battles. But, interestingly enough, notwithstanding a political mobilization that has brought day-to-day life to a halt on a number of occasions, it has remained largely invisible in international media and global politics.

"The work focuses on a subaltern local sovereignty movement called "Telangana" in India. Over the last ten years, this movement has engaged in a massive political mobilization, including strikes, rallies, work stopp., occupation of public spaces, electoral contests, 200 and more political suicides and media battles. But, interestingly enough, notwithstanding a political mobilization that has brought day-to-day life to a halt on a number of occasions, it has remained largely invisible in international media and global politics. Fascinated by the social movement's international invisibility as well as the causes and conditions of its eruption around a city/region that has become a showcase of new capitalist development, Muppidi seeks to unpack this issue, showing that this invisibility is not just intrinsically puzzling, but also represents the operation of power on a global scale. Investigating the conditions of invisibility in this instance can therefore tell us something important about the way global power works to produce visibility and invisibility in the 21st century world. This book provides a unique resource for students of Postcolonalism, International relations and South East Asian studies. "--

Refusing the false choice between objectivity and subjectivity, Himadeep Muppidi considers the production of the global as an intersubjective process that reveals the different political possibilities (e.g., colonial coercion, postcolonial ambivalence, and postcolonial co-option) opened by global relays of meanings, identity, and power. Muppidi concludes by exploring a variety of spaces and strategies for resisting the colonization of the global

AbstractThis essay revisits the question of mass destruction through the perspectives offered by postcolonial thinkers.

The promise of Elizabeth Dauphinee's The Politics Of Exile lies most prominently in its ability to exile us from an international relations scholarship trapped in an economy of colonial truth. It is this economy of colonial truth, also readable as Europe, that produces an international relations scholarship and pedagogy that not only self-consciously cleanses the academic world of other ways of learning and knowing but also induces an indifference or an instrumental orientation in its recipients. Reading Dauphinee's text alongside the transcript of a child detainee's interrogation in Guantánamo Bay as well as Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart, this article explores the ethical relations of responsibility that emerge as Dauphinee's novel sets out to move writers, researchers, and teachers of international relations away from an economy of colonial truth.
