Published in 1999, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak's "A Critique of Postcolonial Reason" is a seminal work in postcolonial studies. The book examines the power dynamics and inequalities perpetuated by colonial and postcolonial structures, challenging dominant narratives and calling for a decolonized understanding of knowledge production and agency. Spivak's critique extends to the limitations of Western epistemologies and the need for recognizing the subaltern voice.
