This book addresses the many concerns, forms and 'specializations' of postcolonialism, including gender and sexuality studies, the nations and nationalism, space and place, and history and politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePramod Nayar's survey of postcolonialism covers substantial  terrain with consummate ease. It moves from the theoretical and  literary engagements with colonialism's cultures, the rise of postcolonial  thought in anti-colonial struggles through the major literary themes of space,  nationalism, sexuality and gender, to newer postcolonial formations in the  cosmopolitan and globalized age we live in. Nayar's close attention to  tropes, literary figurations, the politics of postcolonial theory and the  continued relevance of postcolonial approaches to terrorism, cybercultures and  globalization - all carefully illustrated and evidenced from texts from  Africa, Asia, South American and other formerly colonized nations  -  makes this book at once an indispensable introduction to the field and a  critical evaluation of the literary-political discipline of \"Postcolonial Studies.\" The book will be of interest  to students in History, Literary Studies, Cultural Studies and Theory across  the world where questions about race, culture, colonialism and identity  continue to productively 'trouble' pedagogy and reading practices. -- Professor SW Perera, University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface; Introduction: Postcolonial Thought; 1.
