During the past two decades, postcolonial studies has proven to be
one of the fastest growing fields of critical inquiry.
Postcolonialism has established itself as an important specialist
field within literature disciplines, and it has strong resonances
across other disciplines (history, sociology, anthropology,
geography, cultural studies) and is a field which has inspired
genuinely interdisciplinary research. Linked Histories:
Postcolonial Studies in a Globalized World, collected from the
journal ARIEL (A Review of International English Literataure), take
up some of the most pressing issues in postcolonial debates: the
challenges which new theories of globalization present for
postcolonial studies, the difficulties of rethinking how
"marginality" might be defined in a new globalized world, the
problems of imagining social transformation within globalization.
The editors' goal in bringing together this collection of articles
is not to provide any definitive statement on these urgent
questions; rather, it is to assemble a group of essays which "think
through" the issues and which therefore has the potential to move
the discipline forward. The contributors represented include a
balance of senior scholars with international reputations and
scholars who represent the next generation. With Contributions By:

How should the project of cultural studies change for the
twenty-first century? Does theory have general application? How
should we evaluate revolutions? How should we define countries,
like China, on the margins of modernity and post-modernity? Is a
neo-orientalism emerging in today's world? These are questions
Shaobo Xie and Wang Fengzhen ask a panel of North America's leading
cultural critics. What emerges is a remarkable collection of
interviews and dialogues that discuss culture, ideology, history,
Marxism, modernity, post-modernity, post-colonialism,
globalization, and the role of the university and the intellectual
in today's society.
In the past decade, Jane Ash Poitras, a First Nations woman from
northern Alberta, has emerged as one of the most important Canadian
artists of her generation. Raised by a German widow who powdered
her dark skin and tried to make her straight hair curl, Poitras did
not begin to fully explore her indigenous roots until adulthood.
Seeking out her extended family and participating in profound
cultural experiences, she began to discover the side of herself
that she was denied as a child. At the same time, she made a
commitment to her art. With the opportunity to pursue a Masters
degree at Columbia University in New York, Poitras was at the
center of the North American contemporary art scene. Together,
these dual influences shaped Poitras's unique style, one that
combines representational strategies of postmodern art--collage,
layering, overpainting, incorporation of found objects--with a deep
commitment to the politics and issues common to indigenous peoples.
"Cultural Memories and Imagined Futures" situates Poitras's work in
the national context of Canadian First Nations art during the late
1980s and early 1990s, the period when she began to receive wide
recognition. It is the first book-length study to examine Poitras's
career as a whole, recounting her development as an artist,
participation in major exhibitions, and recognition as a
significant Canadian and international artist. Along with detailed
analysis of specific artworks, author Pamela McCallum has also
compiled the most extensive bibliography of writings on Poitras to
date.
Modern Tragedy, first published in 1966, is a study of the ideas
and ideologies which have influenced the production and analysis of
tragedy. Williams sees tragedy both in terms of literary tradition
and in relation to the tragedies of modern society, of revolution
and disorder, and of individual experience. Modern Tragedy is
available only in this Broadview Encore Edition, now edited and
with a critical introduction by Pamela McCallum.
