Postcolonial Locations seeks to clarify the meaning of 'the
postcolonial' through close textual readings, and prioritises
material and located readings over more abstract theoretical
discussions; it seeks to re-orient the field by providing practical
explorations of what the discipline is for. The book begins with an
introduction of the key theoretical debates in the field - between
the universal and the particular; the global and the local - but it
then goes on to demonstrate, via a series of close textual
readings, that these distinctions are not always useful and that we
can achieve a more comprehensive and complete reading of the
multiple times, places and texts in which colonial power is both
exerted and fought. An engaging and comprehensive guide to
contemporary postcolonial studies, this book is essential reading
for students as well as professors.
