«Do you see yourself as an African or an Indian? he asked me, an American juror. At first this question seemed absurd. Didn't I see what it was? things?". Thus begins this text, woven at the intersection of lived experience, theoretical debates, political movements and the social, political and economic conditions that marked

the construction of "the Asian" as a "post-colonial" Other in post-war Britain. Avtar Brah thus analyzes the relationality of multiple forms of power - class, gender, "race" and racism, ethnicity, nationalism, generation and sexuality? and proposes to think of the "diaspora space" as a "inhabited" place not only by the subjects who "are

they move », but also for those who are built and represented as« native ». It is here that the postcolonial spills into a thousand practical and theoretical evocations for
Feminisms and political bets that try to address the complex metropolitan realities of our time.
Avtar Brah is a professor of Sociology at Birkbeck College. Since the sixties, he has participated in various groups of black feminists and in a good number of editorial and political projects. His works explore, at the hand of his militant experience, the intersectionality of gender, race, ethnicity, class, age and nationalism in the composition of political identities and practices that can only be understood within a multiaxial framework of
power. Also from Avtar Brah, although not translated into Spanish, you can read: Hybridity and its Discontents: Politics, Science, Culture (Routledge, 2000).
