This article questions the distinction between what qualifies as “marginal” (i.e., Lusophone) and “central” (i.e., Anglophone) theorizations of the postcolonial. I argue that Lusophone postcolonialism will carve far more pertinent solutions to the legacies of colonial power by carefully examining the coincidences, and not solely the differences, between Anglo-Saxon and Lusophone postcolonial theories. Current theorizations from each side in fact overlap in their negligence of gender and sexual difference variables when discussing how marginality is valued and affected by local and global markets (i.e., how it is commodified). This article deals with the political significance of such theoretical-imposed silence, in the light of two Anglophone and Lusophone key theory texts: respectively, Graham Huggan’s The Postcolonial Exotic: Marketing the Margins and Boaventura de Sousa Santos’ “Between Prospero and Caliban”
