John Burt Foster Jr. The Comparatist, Volume 21, May 1997, pp. 149-152 (Review) Published by The University of North Carolina Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/com.1997.0000 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/413186/summary Access provided at 18 Feb 2020 10:00 GMT from JHU Libraries THE COMPAKATIST REVIEWS KOSTAS MYRSIADES and JERRY MCGUIRE, eds. Order and Partiali- ties: Theory, Pedagogy, and the "Postcolonial " SUNY Series, interruptions: Border Testimony(ies) and Critical Discourse/s. Ed. Henry A. Giroux. Albany: SU of New York P, 1995. 415 pp. The postcolonial essays in this edited volume from College Literature give comparatists an opportunity to reflect on the connections between this burgeoning new field and their own. At times, to be sure, these connections have been simplisti- cally denied. Ifa postcolonialist could argue that comparative literature emphasizes the imperial nations and is irredeemably Eurocentric, a comparatist might reply that too much postcolonial criticism is limited to the vicissitudes of a single empire, whether British, French, or Spanish. We should realize, however, that turf-protec- tive accusations ofthis kind violate a basic impulse ofboth fields, which is—as in- timated by Henry A. Giroux's title for the SUNY series in which Order and Parti- alities appears—the will to cross cultural borders.
