As one of the foundational texts in the field of postcolonial
writing, Barbara Harlow's Resistance Literature introduced new
ground in Western literary studies. Originally published in 1987
and now reissued with a new Preface by Mia Carter, this powerfully
argued and controversial critique develops an approach to
literature which is essentially political. Resistance Literature
introduces the reader to the role of literature in the liberation
movements of the developing world during the 20th Century. It
considers a body of writing largely ignored in the west. Although
the book is organized according to generic topics - poetry,
narrative, prison memoirs - thematic topics, and the specific
historical conditions that influence the cultural and political
strategies of various resistance struggles, including those of
Palestine, Nicaragua and South Africa, are brought to the fore.
Among the questions raised are the role of women in the developing
world; communication in circumstances of extreme atomization;
literature versus propaganda; censorship; and the problem of
adopting literary forms identified with the oppressor culture.
