The Psychopolitics Of The Oriental Father: Between Omnipotence And Emasculation (Studies In The Psychosocial)

With a foreword by Slavoj ??k, this book explores the Father Function in the East in the process of 'Modernisation', arguing that 'Modernisation' and 'Westernisation' are euphemisms for the advent of capitalism in Asiatic and African societies which lead to fatal transformations of the cultural and political incarnatations of the Oriental Father.
