Postcolonial discourse is fast becoming an area of rich academic
debate. At the heart of coloniality and postcoloniality is the
contested authority of empire and its impact upon previously
colonized peoples and their indigenous cultures. This book examines
various theories of colonization and decolonization, and how the
ideas of a British empire create networks of discourses in
contemporary postcolonial cultures. The various essays in this book
address the question of empire by exploring such constructs as
nation and modernity, third-world feminisms, identity politics, the
status and roles of exiles, exilic subjectivities, border
intellectuals, and the presence of a postcolonial body in today's
classrooms. Topics discussed include African-American literature,
the nature of postcolonial texts in first-world contexts, jazz,
films, and TV as examples of postcolonial discourse, and the
debates surrounding biculturalism and multiculturalism in New
Zealand and Australia.
