Postcolonial Theory and Criticism (Essays and Studies): summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Postcolonial Theory and Criticism (Essays and Studies)" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Contemporary postcolonial studies represent a controversial area of debate. This collection seeks a more pragmatic approach to the subject, taking into account its historical, social and political realities, rather than ignoring a consideration of material conditions. The contributors look at the oppositional power held and exercised by anti-colonial movements, a neglected topic; address the literary strategies devised by metropolitan writers to contain the insecurities of empire, given that unrest and opposition were integral to British imperialism; contest the charges of nativism and essentialism made by postcolonial critics against liberation writings; and investigate the voices of both inhabitants of post-independence nation states, and those scattered by colonialism itself. Dr LAURA CHRISMAN teaches at Sussex University; BENITA PARRY is Honorary Professor at Warwick University.
