"In both cases, over time, assimilation occurs, and both the newcomer and the host adapt, resulting in one or more hybrid cultural forms; and in both cases cultural and perhaps authority relationships remain with the newcomer's origins, and perhaps with other outposts, resulting in diaspora, and hence additional sources of cross-and retro-fertilisation (e.g. Kalra V., Kahlon R.K. & Hutnyk J. (2005) 'Diaspora and Hybridity' Sage, September 2005)."

Response of the Authors

Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri

Michael Hardt and Toni Negri's reply to the Rethinking marxism issue on Empire...
"...By privileging the hegemonic forms and figures of labor at the center of the productive machine, these authors continue, we are still using a Eurocentric model of civilization. Rabasa, Moore, and Hutnyk are among those who raise this critique of both immaterial labor and the Eurocentrism that this implies. This is an important issue..."

New internationalist Rumour Notice

The Rumour of Calcutta:
Tourism, Charity and the Poverty of Representation

'.... John Hutnyk, in his fascinating study of Western interpretations of Calcutta, attempts to excavate the city from under the layers of accreted prejudices. He shows convincingly how, even before the traveller arrives, the reputation of Calcutta has laid down a sediment of ideas that acts as a modifier on subsequent experiences....'

Gane insults all. Needs a slap.

In his review of my "Bad Marxism", Mike Gane says students won't know who Mao was or what the Soviets were! Insulting waste of space he is, and even if it were true, it would be his asteroid-dwelling, wire-headed, three-toed trogg fault for not being a better teacher.

Utopianism and its discontents - Marcus Breen

A piece of slime from Marcus Beem. My second worst review ever. And my reply, which the journal was kind enough to include in the same issue. You complete and utter wonker, Breen.

Richard Smith - Review of Critique of Exotica
In Intensities: Journal of Cult Media - issue 3.

"John Hutnyk has written a significant work, one that everyone working in the area of contemporary cultural studies needs to engage with. He deals with the central issues of hybridity and authenticity in the context of the appropriation of diverse cultural forms (‘Exotica’) within the global cultural industries by key popular cultural stars. At the heart of the book is a personal commitment to a form of radical politics..."

Vijay Prashad review of Rumour of Calcutta

In Light of Calcutta by Vijay Prashad
The Kathmandu Post Review of Books
30 November, 1997Vol. 2, No. 8

"John Hutnyk's book does not tell us of the visions of the city among its long-term inhabitants. His book introduces the people who travel to South Asia on a budget, mostly from North America, Europe and Australia. 'Budget travellers' come not to bask in the glory of the Raj, but to explore the underbelly of Asia and to do some volunteer work as a means to assuage their guilt or redeem themselves. Despite their best motives, Hutnyk explains, these travellers do not question how they see the city. They have heard the 'rumour of Calcutta, the imagery by which the city is known'..."
