I use the term ‘postcolonial theory’ here to avoid confusion. But my usual practice is to emphasise the debate between Marxism and postmodernism/poststructuralism, so as to not to concede the entire ground of ‘postcolonial studies’ – a very productive space for discussing postcolonial literature, history and society – to the postmodernists. Cf. Pranav Jani, ‘Marxism and the future of postcolonial theory’, review of Postcolonial Theory and the Specter of Capital , by Vivek Chibber, International Socialist Review 92 (Spring 2014), pp. 105–21, https://isreview.org/issue/92/marxism-and-future-postcolonial-theory-0/index.html
