Refashioning Futures

More about the book

The book explores the need for a new theoretical practice to address the challenges faced by once-colonized countries, particularly amid economic reforms leading to societal collapse. David Scott critiques existing cultural theories that deconstruct Western narratives, arguing they fall short in light of current realities. He proposes a strategic approach to criticism that emphasizes political clarity, aiming to navigate the complexities of secular-modern projects in regions where their stability is increasingly uncertain.
