DESCRIPTION:Postcolonial Theory and the Shadow of Capitalism Postcolonial s
 tudies presents itself as social theory for globalizing capitalism. Yet\, 
 it shows very little interest in mobilizing the basic concepts of politica
 l economy. In fact\, most postcolonial theorists exhibit a deep ambivalenc
 e toward the very application of political economy to non-Western cultures
 . This has been criticized as a symptom of their hewing to a kind of cultu
 ral essentialism. I will show that postcolonial theorists are indeed cultu
 ral essentialists\, but that their essentialism rests on a flawed sociolog
 y of the colonial world\, in particular\, from a flawed analysis of the un
 iversalization of capital.
