At her talk the other night, Gayatri Spivak said that one reason that Eagleton (whom she said she considers a friend, adding, "with friends like that...") and all the other male reviewers have been so hard on her is that she refuses just to write about India and women, but trespasses into the big boys territory - class, labor, value, the international division of labor, etc. People may not like what she says or how she says it, but she sure seems very serious about Marxian politics.
Along those lines, Spivak once complained to my old friends Donna Landry and Gerald MacLean (editors of The Spivak Reader) about those "cultural Marxists" who never get beyond The German Ideology and into Capital.
