Postcolonial Studies

About the Book

Postcolonialism is the fastest growing area of study in English and the site of vigorous contention and debate. These essays explore the pressing issues and challenges that new theories of globalization present for postcolonial studies, including the difficulties of rethinking how 'marginality' might be defined in a new globalized world and the problems of imagining social transformation within globalization. The essays have been assembled with the intention to "think through" the issues rather than provide definitive statements. This collection offers fresh, accessible discussion to move the discipline forward as well as an informative and useful introduction for those new to the field. These wide-ranging articles bring together contributions from todayís noted scholars as well as those who represent the next generation, taking up some of the most pressing issues of postcolonial debate. The contributors, from five countries, offer varied and diverse perspectives.
