A much needed corrective to the complacent view that multicultural diversity reigns in US and European Universities. Hamid Dabashi's new work is a tour de force.

Drucilla Cornell, author of Law and Revolution in South Africa

Dabashi eloquently articulates the intellectual journey of a whole generation of postcolonial thinkers: its findings must be heard.

Elizabeth Suzanne Kassab, author of Contemporary Arab Thought

Drawing from his unrivalled inside knowledge of various intellectual traditions, Dabashi has written, with acuity, passion and humour, a critical synthesis of Western thought from the vantage point of the "dark races".

Mamadou Diouf, director of the Institute for African Studies, Columbia University

For decades, Hamid Dabashi has drawn from the histories of the non-West to argue for ways of thinking deemed illegitimate by the parochial but powerful guardians of intellectual life in the West. In Can Non-Europeans Think? he takes his subtle but vigorous polemic to another level.

Pankaj Mishra

With elegant irony, Can Non-Europeans Think? reorients our reading of the world. It is a passionate rejoinder to those who are unable to see beyond European framings and rootings.

S. Sayyid, author of Recalling the Caliphate

These essays are trenchant, witty, provocative, mischievous, and on target.
