An interdisciplinary collection of essays designed to map out a
wide-ranging and productive future for postcolonial studies, this
volume assesses the current state of the field and points toward
its most promising new developments. In addressing questions about
the definition and relevance of postcolonial scholarship, many of
the essays consider its relation to the study of globalization.
While some contributors offer broad reflections on the existing
two-way influence between postcolonial theory and established
university disciplines such as literary criticism and history,
others forge ahead into some vital, if nascent, areas for
postcolonial research such as media studies, environmental studies,
religious studies, and linguistic and semantic analysis.The
contributors represent many of the fields altered by postcolonial
studies over the past two decades, including literary studies,
history, anthropology, Asian and African studies, and political
science. They model diverse applications of postcolonial theory to
Latin America, East Asia, the Middle East, and the United States.
Postcolonial Studies and Beyond propels the field forward. It
showcases scholars coming from intellectual precincts usually
considered outside the purview of the postcolonial finding new ways
to deploy classic techniques of postcolonial analysis, and scholars
strongly associated with postcolonial studies offering substantial
critiques designed to challenge the field's most fundamental
assumptions. Contributors. Tani E. Barlow, Ali Behdad, Daniel
