The chapters herein are purposefully written so that a reader entirely unfamiliar with postcolonial literary traditions will be guided into this rich body of text. No one volume could ever hope to cover the deep history and worldwide impact of postcolonial literature. Moreover, with each passing year hundreds of new works by postcolonial authors or works using postcolonial theory debut. To stay up to date with the ever-growing bibliography would be Sisyphean. Yet, the chapters within this anthology and, comparatively speaking, the limited authors and publications contained within, give the reader access to the fundamental ways one should read postcolonial literature. This volume is meant to instruct. The reader need not have previous knowledge of postcolonialism. Indeed, one does not even need a prior exposure to the specific texts. This book will teach the reader. It will teach the reader how to read a postcolonial work; reading, often literally, the spaces between and outside the page. To encounter postcolonial productions is to encounter colonialism in all of its raw brutality. It is to see the lingering trauma, inherited by authors born long after the crumbling of empire. But beyond the reaction to imperialism occupying many works is the great hope of new innovation. Postcolonial writers use the ruins of the past to create stories that captivate and inspire. They give us a fresh start, grounded in historical perspectives, that change the way we view ourselves and our place in a globalized world. The greatest accomplishment of this book is in its linkage of international contributors of multiple generations. Professors and postgraduate students mix together in these pages. Each of them have a strong background and personal interest in the subject matter their chapters explore. They are here to guide the reader through each chapter, using a book, play, poem, picture, or TV episode in order to create something truly unique and novel. Whether the reader is encountering the work for the first time, or has viewed it a hundred times, by the conclusion of this volume, the reader will come away with a new understanding of postcolonialism in a way that can be applied to all their future readings. Critical Insights: Post-Colonial Literature will be global in scope, representing work from Asia, Africa and India and will include essays on authors including Salman Rushdie, Arundhati Roy and Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche." -- Publisher's description 650 0 $a Postcolonialism in literature. 650 0 $a Colonies in literature. 650 0 $a English literature $x History and criticism. 650 6 $a Postcolonialisme dans la litteÌrature. 650 6 $a Colonies dans la litteÌrature. 650 6 $a LitteÌrature anglaise $x Histoire et critique. 650 7 $a Colonies in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00868477 650 7 $a English literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00911989 650 7 $a Postcolonialism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01073035 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Garsha, Jeremiah J., $e editor. 830 0 $a Critical insights. 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718093140.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DB2A310C214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
