Beschreibung:
GAURAV DESAI is an associate professor of English at Tulane University and the author of Subject to Colonialism: African Self-fashioning and the Colonial Library. SUPRIYA NAIR is an associate professor of English at Tulane University and the author of Caliban's Curse: George Lamming and the Revisioning of History.
Canonical articles, most unexcerpted, explore postcolonialism’s key themes—power and knowledge—while articles by contemporary scholars expand the discipline to include discussions of the discovery of the New World, Native American and indigenous identities in Latin America and the Pacific, settler colonies in Africa and Australia, English colonialism in Ireland, and feminism in Nigeria and Egypt. The inclusion of a broad sampling of histories and theories attests to multiple, even competing postcolonialisms, while the skillful organization of the volume provides a useful map of the field in terms of recognizable patterns, shared family resemblances, and common genealogies.
