For many readers of Jacques Derrida, the philosopher's work since the appearance of The Post Card in 1987 has been enriched by a new set of concerns and questions. In Later Derrida, Herman Rapaport offers four extended essays that examines Derrida's work of the past fifteen years. Drawing on his own deep familiarity with theory and with Derrida's work in particular, he shows what Derrida has to say on such subjects as postcolonialism, monolingualism, trauma, memory, and the archive. Of particular interest to readers of Derrida will be Rapaport's explanation of the concepts of Gemeinschaft (sect, society, etc.) and Gesellschaft (democracy, globalization, etc.) in the French philosopher's work. The essays also consider Derrida's relation to the work of Trinh Minh-ha, Gayatri Spivak, Artaud, and Heidegger.
This lucid book will be a necessary companion to all readers of Derrida's writing.

'Herman Rapaport is a strongly inventive, active reader of Derrida's writings, both the more recent and those one may have thought were assimilated years ago (but think again!). Bringing to its task sharp critical tools, Later Derrida proposes insightful interpretations of Derrida's latest work in the domain of politics and ethics. In the process, it challenges some of the most entrenched ideas about deconstruction.' - Peggy Kamuf

'The book's principal success has been to hold open the space for the arrival of an unprecendented event on the "hither side of deconstruction," to stray from the point, to err in repeating that which came before and to continue to question "what could take place tomorrow."' - Partial Answers, Journal of Literature and The History of Ideas

'Rapaport's Later Derrida is a brave and independent book.' - Simon Morgan Wortham

'An important aim of the collection ... is to "stress Derrida's relevance in terms of cultural studies" ... He succeeds in doing this in the most rigorous and original way.' - Critical and Cultural Theory
