{"product_id":"chrisman-laura-postcolonial-theory-and-criticism-9780859915540","title":"Postcolonial Theory and Criticism","description":"Contemporary postcolonial studies represent a controversial area of debate. This collection seeks a more pragmatic approach to the subject, taking into account its historical, social and political realities, rather than ignoring a consideration of material conditions. The contributors look at the oppositional power held and exercised by anti-colonial movements, a neglected topic; address the literary strategies devised by metropolitan writers to contain the insecurities of empire, given that unrest and opposition were integral to British imperialism; contest the charges of nativism and essentialism made by postcolonial critics against liberation writings; and investigate the voices of both inhabitants of post-independence nation states, and those scattered by colonialism itself. \n\u003cbr\u003e\nDr LAURA CHRISMAN teaches at Sussex University; BENITA PARRY is Honorary Professor at Warwick University.","brand":"D.S.Brewer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53761211203926,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/chrisman-laura-postcolonial-theory-and-criticism-9780859915540","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
