Description
Offering an interdisciplinary guide to the various concepts, practices and cultural products that have come to be known as "post-colonial", this title has been designed with students in mind. Containing 400 entries as well as suggestions for further reading, it provides an orientation map for undergraduates taking courses in post-colonial literature and theory and post-colonial studies more generally. Its range should make it a suitable reference tool for those who have been working in the field for some time. Covering writers, theorists, concepts, terms, political figures, music, art, film, historical events, movements, popular cultural forms and language, the entries are fully cross-referenced and assume no prior knowledge.
