Gandhi Leela

    Leela Gandhi sa ponára do zložitostí postkoloniálnej teórie, skúmajúc, ako sa filozofie a politiky formujúce svetové dejiny utvárali nadnárodnými aj domorodými vplyvmi. Jej práca preniká do hlbších vrstiev myslenia a odhaľuje prepojenia medzi rôznymi kultúrnymi a intelektuálnymi prúdmi. Prostredníctvom svojej akademickej práce a edičnej činnosti prispieva k neustálemu dialógu o postkoloniálnom myslení. Gandhi ponúka bystré analýzy, ktoré povzbudzujú čitateľov k hlbšiemu zamysleniu sa nad minulosťou a súčasnosťou.

      Europeans and Americans tend to hold the opinion that democracy is a uniquely Western inheritance. In this book, the authors recover stories of an alternate version, describing a transnational history of democracy in the first half of the twentieth century through the lens of ethics in the broad sense of disciplined self-fashioning.
