Postcolonialism explores the political, social, and cultural
effects of decolonization, continuing the anti-colonial
deconstruction of western dominance. This Very Short Introduction
discusses both the history and key debates of postcolonialism, and
considers its importance as a means of changing the way we think
about the world. Robert J. C. Young examines the key strategies
that postcolonial thought has developed to engage with the impact
of sometimes centuries of western political and cultural
domination. Situating the discussion in a wide cultural and
geographical context, he draws on examples such as the status of
indigenous peoples, of those dispossessed from their land, Algerian
rai music, and global social and ecological movements. In this new
edition he also includes updated material on race, slavery, and
postcolonial gender politics. Above all, Young argues that
postcolonialism offers a political philosophy of activism that
contests the current situation of global inequality, which in a new
way continues the anti-colonial struggles of the past and enables
us to decolonize our own lives in the present. ABOUT THE SERIES:
