"Overall, In Other Words represents an impressive effort by Ray to
link, compress but also carefully reread a wide swath of Spivak's
work. At times disorienting in its scope like the theorist's own
work, Ray's book offers a sustained engagement with some of
Spivak's most valuable insights and has me returning to her oeuvre
with fresh eyes." (Postcolonial Text, 2011)
