This text brings together critical voices to respond to the
questions raised by the concept of the "post-colonial". The
contributors move from imperial histories to today's hybrid
metropolitan youth cultures, from African-American writings to
uneasy mixtures of nationalisms and religion in the post-colonial
city. Together they expolore the diverse cultures and disparate
narratives which are shaping an increasingly volatile global
future. In confronting the concept and condition of
postcoloniality, the contributors move beyond overworked metaphors
of integration, the melting pot and multiculturalism. Instead, they
represent a plurality of voices, populations and histories coming
from "elsewhere" to disrupt the Euro-American sense of where the
"centre" lies. The collection includes a new piece of fiction by
Hanif Kureishi.
