“…In academia, arts and culture, notions of the subaltern and liminality are celebrated for their creative potential and often valorized as being the exemplary space of identity and culture (Julien and Mercer, 1988;Hall, 1997;Hutnyk, 2000). Yet this emphasis on the marginal and a politics of Gautam outlined another problematic aspect of leftist politics which has shifted ground within the last twenty years, to become a location or space that often increasingly excludes the working class and minorities.…”

This article engages with the practices of politics and its presence and meanings within the Asian scene. Despite work that has taken youth cultures beyond the framework of ‘resistance’, youth cultures are often still imagined and understood through the lens of ‘resistance’. Yet, within the Asian scene, the tensions, disavowal and ambivalence toward politics point toward a more complex, multilayered understanding of contemporary youth cultural forms. This article takes into account the politics of location and belonging that Asians within this scene are negotiating that are shaping the kind of political outlooks and attitudes that are being voiced. The growth of a middle-class ‘desi’ community in the United Kingdom and the rise of neoliberalism have led to a significant decline in the practice of a radical, deliberative politics within this ‘desi’ scene.

“…The hegemony of a multicultural nationalism regulates representations of minority memories and ways of life. It incites a "restricted economy of ethnic enunciation" (Julien and Mercer 1988) for these groups by limiting their explorations of alterity and potential to interrogate nation formation. None the less, writers such as Kobena Mercer (1994), David rodowick (1997), and Laura Marks (2000) have noted that cultural productions by minority practitioners have been committed to interrupting hegemonic practices of multicultural containment and official history making.…”

“…In time, "the African" has come to be represented as natural, spontaneous and unspoiled. However, both the exoticism and the explicit condemnation of the Others help to reinforce the image of Them as fundamentally different from Us (Julien & Mercer, 1996;Said, 1993 (Edquist, 2001;Lindborg, 2001). As in the case of a number of popular movements in Sweden, a nationally rooted self-image, where the popular education is primarily understood as something "typically Swedish", has emerged historically in popular education.…”

Over the years, there have been several attempts to spread the “Swedish model” of popular education, that is, study circles and folk high schools, to countries in other parts of the world. In this article, the authors analyze the large-scale project of establishing folk development colleges in Tanzania in the 1970s and 1980s, by emphasizing the ways in which Swedish popular educators have described the folk development college project. Theoretically, the article is based on a postcolonial framework, highlighting the continuing importance of the legacies of colonialism in today’s society. One of the main conclusions in the article is that in the process of “exporting” the idea of popular education to other parts of the world, there is an ongoing formation of national self-images in contrast to images of the Other, where there is a constant risk of reproducing ideas from a colonial past.
