The readings are drawn from a diverse selection of Third World and Western thinkers, both historical and contemporary. "Post-colonialism" is taken by the editors to include Third World and diasporic experience; like "colonialism," it is understood to contain a complex set of cultural, ethnographic, political, and economic processes and conflicts. This volume explores such issues as the nature of colonized cultures and anti-colonial resistance; subaltern historiography; constructions of Western subjectivity, knowledge, and gender; the formation of post-colonial intellectuals; the metropolitan institutionalization of post-colonialism; neo-colonialism; and the nature of minority and post-colonial identity and discourse. One section is devoted to the application of theoretical formulations to cultural criticism, and contains a number of textual analyses. A general introduction to the volume as well as introductions to each section provide historical, theoretical, and poltical contexts for the readings.The book concludes with an extensive bibliography.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 171mmItem Length: 231mmContributor: Patrick Williams (Edited by), Laura Chrisman (Edited by)Author: Patrick WilliamsGenre: Society & CultureTopic: HistoryRelease Year: 1994 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
