Postcolonial Theory and the Specter of Capital is a 2013 book by the American sociologist and New York University professor Vivek Chibber.
Drawing from the radical Enlightenment tradition, this book serves as a critique of Postcolonial Theory.
Chibber focuses on the Subaltern Studies section of the theory, and demonstrates how its foundational arguments are based on a series of political and historical misunderstandings.
