This is a well-gathered collection, representing significant writing over the last 20 or so years, and demonstrating excellent research and a sure knowledge of the field in its choice and arrangement of material. This is a work with a first-rate set of ideas and references. The hardback is an excellent addition to the library shelf and the paperback a must for personal reading, particularly for serious students of the subject.\" \u003ci\u003eReference Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThematic Contents. \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEditor’s Introduction: Resistance and Complicity in Postcolonial Studies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSelected Bibliography.\u003cb\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I: Post-Colonial Discourses: Complicity and Critique.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Spontaneity: Its Strength and Weakness\" (Frantz Fanon).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Discrepant Experiences\" (Edward W Said).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Unsatisfied: Notes on Vernacular Cosmopolitanism\" (Homi K Bhabha).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"The Burden of English\" (Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Colonialism and Desiring Machines\" (Robert Young).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Post-Colonial Critical Theories\" (Stephen Slemon)\u003cb\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II: Indian Nations: The Conundrum of Difference.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"The Prose of Counter-Insurgency\" (Ranajit Guha).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"The Nationalist Resolution of the Women's Question\" (Partha Chatterjee).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Representing Sati: Continuities and Discontinuities\" (Rajeswari Sunder Rajan).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Nationalism, Gender, and the Narrative of Identity\" (R Radhakrishnan)\u003cb\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart III: African Identities: Resistance and Race.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"An Image of Africa: Racism in Conrad's Heart of Darkness\" (Chinua Achebe).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"African Identities\" (Kwame Anthony Appiah).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Unsystematic Fingers at the Conditions of Times': 'Afropop' and the Paradoxes of Imperialism\" (Neil Lazarus).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Sheroes and Villains: Conceptualizing Colonial and Contemporary Violence Against Women in Africa\" (Amina Mana)\u003cb\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart IV: Caribbean Encounters: Revolution, Hybridity, Diaspora.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Colonialism and the Caribbean Novel\" (George Lamming).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Negotiating Caribbean Identities\" (Stuart Hall).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Survival and Invention: Indigeneity in the Caribbean\" (Peter Hulme).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Sending the Younger Son Across the Wide Sargasso Sea: The New Colonizer Arrives\" (Moira Ferguson)\u003cb\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart V: Rump Commonwealth: Settler Colonies and the \"Second World\".\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Crimes and Punishments\" (Bob Hodge and Vijay Mishra).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Colonizing Gender in Colonial Australia: The Eliza Fraser Story\" (Kay Schafer).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"The Body in the Library: Identity, Opposition, and the Settler-Invader Woman\" (Helen Tiffin).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Out of the Center: Thoughts on the Post-Colonial Literatures of Australia and New Zealand\" (Ralph J Crane)\u003cb\u003e.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart VI: The Case of Ireland: Inventing Nations.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Adulteration and the Nation\" (David Lloyd).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Reading in a Woman's Death: Colonial Text and Oral Tradition in Nineteenth-Century Ireland\" (Angela Bourke).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Deanglicization\" (Declan Kiberd).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Race Against Time: Racial Discourse and Irish History\" (Luke Gibbons).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlossary.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley and Sons Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49403419689303,"sku":"9780631210054","price":39.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780631210054.jpg?v=1730483416","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/postcolonial-discourses-9780631210054","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
