Articles on the historical, social and political realities of
postcolonialism as expressed in contemporary writing. Contemporary
postcolonial studies represent a controversial area of debate. This
collection seeks a more pragmatic approach to the subject, taking
into account its historical, social and political realities, rather
than ignoring aconsideration of material conditions. The
contributors look at the oppositional power held and exercised by
anti-colonial movements, a neglected topic; address the literary
strategies devised by metropolitan writers to contain the
insecurities of empire, given that unrest and opposition were
integral to British imperialism; contest the charges of nativism
and essentialism made by postcolonial critics against liberation
writings; and investigate the voicesof both inhabitants of
post-independence nation states, and those scattered by colonialism
itself. Dr LAURA CHRISMAN teaches at Sussex University; BENITA
PARRY is Honorary Professor at Warwick University. Contributors:
Vilashini Cooppan, Fernando Coronil, Gautam Premnath, Ato Quayson,
Tim Watson, Lawrence Phillips, Sukhdev Sandhu
