A concise introduction to a core and popular area of literary studies.Provides extended case studies which survey and summarise key critical debates and as such are invaluable for teaching.Places the emphasis on the text first and theory second, thus providing a unique and much needed approach to postcolonial literature, which in the past has been maligned for being theory driven.Takes an historical approach, thus covering a good range of texts that have generated lots of critical discussion and evaluative materials.Written clearly for an undergraduate reader, with introductory overviews at the start of each chapter.
