| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The promise of Elizabeth Dauphinee's The Politics Of Exile lies most prominently in its ability to exile us from an international relations scholarship trapped in an economy of colonial truth. It is this economy of colonial truth, also readable as Europe, that produces an international relations scholarship and pedagogy that not only self-consciously cleanses the academic world of other ways of learning and knowing but also induces an indifference or an instrumental orientation in its recipients. Reading Dauphinee's text alongside the transcript of a child detainee's interrogation in Guantánamo Bay as well as Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart, this article explores the ethical relations of responsibility that emerge as Dauphinee's novel sets out to move writers, researchers, and teachers of international relations away from an economy of colonial truth. |
