The Cambridge Companion to Postcolonial Literary Studies
offers a lucid introduction and overview of one of the most
important strands in recent literary theory and cultural studies.
The volume aims to introduce readers to key concepts, methods,
theories, thematic concerns, and contemporary debates in the field.
Drawing on a wide range of disciplines, contributors explain the
impact of history, sociology and philosophy on the study of
postcolonial literatures and cultures. Topics examined include
everything from anti-colonial nationalism and decolonisation to
globalisation, migration flows, and the ''brain drain'' which
constitute the past and present of ''the postcolonial condition''.
The volume also pays attention to the sociological and ideological
conditions surrounding the emergence of postcolonial literary
studies as an academic field in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The
Companion turns an authoritative, engaged and discriminating lens
on postcolonial literary studies.
? Presents a lucid overview of the issues, theories and concepts
