This collection offers a broad range of Spivak's recent essays, lectures, and other writings that speak to her groundbreaking work in feminism, deconstruction, Marxism, and subaltern studies.

The pieces collected in Spivak Moving touch on a variety of topics, including her crucial thinking on pan-Africanism and W. E. B. DuBois, reproductive heteronormativity, art and film, class apartheid in education, practices of institutional critique, and the training of imaginative activism through a sustained engagement with the humanities. She moves from a look at the unsystematized first languages of continental Africa into a broader consideration of human rights, international civil society practice, the question of terror, the "freedom" of the academic, and the place of the digital. Nearly half the essays are presented here for the first time. This much-awaited volume, coinciding with her 80th year, is a testament to how Spivak writes to inspire an obsession with social justice.
