Book Synopsis
Explores a wide range of writers through the lens of postcolonial theory, focusing on themes of imperialism and decolonisation, globalisation and national identity.

Trade Review
Graham MacPhee brilliantly follows the historical tracks of empire into the heartlands of post-war British literature, an area often assumed to be relatively untouched by colonial impacts and their contingent modernist entanglements. This timely and necessary study lays bare how colonial cultural legacies are everywhere palpable within this landscape. -- Elleke Boehmer, Professor of World Literature in English, University of Oxford
