She is best known as a post colonial theorist but she describes herself as “para-disciplinary, ethical philosopher.” She has applied deconstructive strategies to various theoretical engagements and textual analyses: from Feminism, Marxism, and Literary Criticism to, most recently, Postcolonialism. Spivak has published numerous books and interviews including In Other Worlds: Essays in Cultural Politics and Death of a Discipline.[2]
