∗

For insights incorporated in revising my original version of this comment, I am grateful to Fernando Coronil and the numerous student participants in “Beyond Occidentalism: Rethinking How the West Was Born,” a seminar that Coronil and I cotaught at the University of Michigan in the fall of 1992. This essay is dedicated to the memory of Josephat Kubayanda.
