The idea of the Other is central to both Levinas' philosophy and to postcolonialism, but they both apply the concept in different ways. Now, John Drabinski asks what we can learn from reading Levinas alongside postcolonial theories of difference. Drawing on the works of Gayatri Spivak, Homi Bhabha, Edouard Glissant and Subcommandante Marcos, he rethinks ideas of difference, language, subjectivity, ethics and politics.
John E. Drabinski is Professor of African American Studies and English at the University of Maryland. He is the author of At the Margins of Nihilism (Fordham University Press, 2025, forthcoming), Baldwin and the Black Atlantic (Northwestern University Press, 2025), Glissant and the Middle Passage: Philosophy, Beginning, Abyss (University of Minnesota Press, 2019), Levinas and the Postcolonial: Race, Nation, Other (EUP, 2012), Godard Between Identity and Difference (Continuum, 2008) and Sensibility and Singularity: The Problem of Phenomenology in Levinas (SUNY, 2001).
