Equally suitable for undergraduates and specialists in the
humanities, this collection provides an in-depth introduction to
debates within post-colonial theory and criticism. The readings are
drawn from a diverse selection of Third World and Western thinkers,
both historical and contemporary. "Post-colonialism" is taken by
the editors to include Third World and diasporic experience; like
"colonialism," it is understood to contain a complex set of
cultural, ethnographic, political, and economic processes and
conflicts.
This volume explores such issues as the nature of colonized
cultures and anti-colonial resistance; subaltern historiography;
constructions of Western subjectivity, knowledge, and gender; the
formation of post-colonial intellectuals; the metropolitan
institutionalization of post-colonialism; neo-colonialism; and the
nature of minority and post-colonial identity and discourse. One
section is devoted to the application of theoretical formulations
to cultural criticism, and contains a number of textual analyses. A
general introduction to the volume as well as introductions to each
section provide historical, theoretical, and poltical contexts for
the readings. The book concludes with an extensive
bibliography.
