Description
This module introduces students to a range of fictional and critical texts produced in the field of Postcolonial Studies. Moving across different geographical areas affected by colonialism in the nineteenth and early twentieth century, the module examines texts memorialising histories of political subjugation in the first semester. In the second semester, students will read about nation-formation in the period of decolonisation. Issues addressed in the module may include: displacement and migration; agency, identity and resistance; race, culture and difference; tradition and modernity; and the function of postcolonial texts.
