Summary:

This book, 'Postcolonial Hauntings: Play and Transnational Feminism' by Sushmita Chatterjee, explores the intersections of postcolonial theory, feminism, and transnationalism. It delves into the concept of 'hauntings' in a postcolonial context, examining how political, cultural, and social structures are influenced by the remnants of colonialism. The book discusses themes such as animal politics, queer translations, and the political dimensions of friendships. It also highlights the work of artists like Mithu Sen, focusing on the centrality of play and lingual anarchy in her art.
