The Postcolonial Studies Reader
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-74705-7 (ISBN)
The most comprehensive collection of postcolonial writing theory and criticism, this third edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to include 125 extracts from key works in the field.
Leading, as well as lesser-known figures in the fields of writing, theory and criticism contribute to this inspiring body of work that includes sections on nationalism, hybridity, diaspora and globalisation. As in the first two editions, this new edition of The Postcolonial Studies Reader ranges as widely as possible to reflect the remarkable diversity of work in the discipline and the vibrancy of anti-imperialist and decolonising writing both within and without the metropolitan centres.
This volume includes new work in the field over the decade and a half since the second edition was published. Covering more debates, topics and critics than any comparable book in its field The Postcolonial Studies Reader provides the ideal starting point for students and issues a potent challenge to the ways in which we think and write about literature and culture.
Bill Ashcroft is Emeritus Professor at the University of New South Wales. He is a renowned critic and theorist, founding exponent of postcolonial theory, and author of 21 books and over 200 articles and chapters. Co-editor of The Postcolonial Studies Reader, he is also co-author of The Empire Writes Back, the first text to offer a systematic examination of the field of postcolonial studies. Gareth Griffiths is Emeritus Professor at the University of Western Australia. He has published widely in the field of postcolonial literatures and literary theory. Co-editor of The Postcolonial Studies Reader, he is also co-author of The Empire Writes Back, the first text to offer a systematic examination of the field of postcolonial studies. He has published many books and over 70 articles and chapters on literary and cultural topics with an emphasis on postcolonial writing and culture. Helen Tiffin is Adjunct Professor at the University of Wollongong. Co-editor of The Postcolonial Studies Reader, she is also co-author of The Empire Writes Back, the first text to offer a systematic examination of the field of postcolonial studies. She has authored or edited eight books and over 80 articles and chapters on postcolonial literatures, literary theory, and animal and environmental subjects.
