Abstract: This essay presents the argument for a model
of postcoloniality that disavows the axiomatic determinations of
oppositionality. It presents a case, in the history of nascent African
nationalism in South Africa, in which subject formation by Africans
under late colonialism was framed in apparent complicity with prescribed
forms of Western civility. The essay argues that conventional notions of
postcolonial resistance are unable to provide an adequate explanation
for identity politics which are based on the desire for Western
acculturation instead of resistance to it. By recourse to the idea of a
“civil imaginary,” the essay offers an alternative framework
for understanding the intermeshing processes of colonial subjectification
and African nationalism in South Africa.

TL;DR: Hitchcock as discussed by the authors argues that the crisis of globalization is a crisis of the imagination, and suggests that cultural transnationalism should not be feared or suppressed but approached as a way to imagine difference globally.
Abstract: Can transnationalism be separated from capitalist globalization? Can an artist create cultural space and rethink the nation state simultaneously? In "Imaginary States", Peter Hitchcock explores such questions to invigorate the analysis of cultural transnationalism Juxtaposing the macroeconomic realities of commodities with the creation of cultural workers, Hitchcock offers case studies of Nike and the coffee industry alongside examinations of writings by the Algerian feminist Assia Djebar and the Caribbean writers Edward Glissant, Kamau Brathwaite, and Maryse Conde The stark contrast of literary examples of cultural transnationalism with discussions of commodity circulation attempts to complicate the relationship between the aesthetic and the economic Blocking our imagination, Hitchcock argues, is the desire to produce cultural diversity under the terms of a global economy In believing that to have one we must pursue the other, we flatten difference, erase complexity, and fail to grasp the imaginaries at stake Hitchcock's invocation of the imagination allows for a deeper understanding of transnational "states" - whether states of being, economic states, or nation states Proffering that the crisis of globalization is a crisis of the imagination, he urges that cultural transnationalism not be feared or suppressed but approached as a way to imagine difference globally
