Words on the Street demonstrate how a philosophical position, aside from Marxism, perpetuates the growing concern for social justice.  This philosophy interns a great degree of resentment on the part of the ancestors and histories of peoples that have been overlooked for far too long. It is only with the deepest sentiments that this philosophy places us at a point in the life of ideas stemming from real lived and felt experiences. Postcolonial philosophy, again not Marxism, puts forth the gauntlet of reckoning which drives the words on the street. It trickles out of the academy into public policy and onto the streets, where many protest nonviolently and violently. If anyone believes that violence is the answer to social justice, they have heard this diatribe in the halls of town councils and policy-making in the past decade. The source of ideologies and beliefs concerning the nature of present global concerns has swept across the West through keywords tied directly to postcolonial thought.  

 

The coverage of these ideologies has been extremely important to the general public; though the content of these ideologies is controversial, it is clear that many are concerned about the direction that ideologues are taking the public. Governments, groups, and individuals fund the dissemination of the knowledge base for related protestation. Organizations and individuals fund the coordination of protests related to these ideas; they do not erupt spontaneously upon the streets. Graffiti and destruction lay in the wake of the protests, and the agendas about these matters seem to matter more than the sight of protests. The core of postcolonial philosophy will likely continue to make its splash, and rightfully so.  The question is whether or not it will be hijacked for purposes beyond the swath of the concerns it addresses. 

 

Words on the Street elucidates the philosophical concepts and actions or speech acts driven by postcolonial philosophy and educates about the bases of the positioning within the ranks of some contributors to this field of study.  These words originate and percolate in academia but filter to the streets via veins running deep within elitist agendas.  Taking note of the origins of ideologies is important, and the book "Words on the street: Postcolonial philosophy and public policy" demonstrates the strength, validity, and veracity of the postcolonial positions.  Notice of the hijacking of these postcolonial ideas will not, however, be neglected. It is demonstrated that the postcolonial ideas are not Marxist or socialist but rather derive from cultural concerns beyond the scope of those systems of belief and forms of government. The postcolonial will not evaporate and must be wrestled with in order to get from hypocrisy to legitimacy.
