As postcolonial studies shifts to a more comparative approach one of the most intriguing developments has been within the Francophone world. A number of genealogical lines of influence are now being drawn connecting the work of the three figures most associated with the emergence of postcolonial theory - Homi Bhabha, Edward Said, and Gayatri Spivak - to an earlier generation of French (predominantly 'poststructuralist') theorists. Within this emerging narrative of intellectual influences, the importance of the thought of Jacques Derrida, and the status of deconstruction generally, has been acknowledged, but has not until now been adequately accounted for. In Deconstruction and the Postcolonial, Michael Syrotinski teases out the underlying conceptual tensions and theoretical stakes of what he terms a 'deconstructive postcolonialism', and argues that postcolonial studies stands to gain ground in terms of its political forcefulness and philosophical rigour by turning back to, and not away from, deconstruction.

"Jean Paulhan is best known for the many editorial activities through which he encouraged and published an entire generation of French writers in the first half of the 20th century. This volume of Yale French Studies is the first collection of essays in English devoted to his work and offers a sustained reflection on the interrelation between two crucial focal points of his thinking: rhtoric and power. The volume includes translations of two short but potent texts by Paulhan from either side of World War II which underline the originality of his thinking about the meaning of democracy and provide fine examples of his deceptively casual style"--Cover.
