Description
The first part of the Postcolonial Studies modules introduces students to a range of postcolonial theoretical perspectives by looking at foundational texts and articles by Said, Bhabha and Hall. Initially, this module will focus on a reading of African literature in English as a key component of postcolonial literatures. The other part of this module will investigate the relationship between literature and Islands, another key area of Postcolonial studies. Here, we will be dealing with both literature about Islands and literature written by Islanders. Themes covered might include travel writing, Island as metaphor, Islands of Experimentation, tourism.
