Postcolonial studies is attentive to cultural differences, marginalization
and exclusion. Such studies pay equal attention to the lives and
conditions of various racial minorities in the West, as well as to
regional, indigenous forms of representation around the world as
being distinct from a dominant Western tradition. With the consolidation
of the field in the past forty years, the need to establish the
terms by which we might understand the sources of postcolonial
literary history is more urgent now than ever before. The Cambridge
History of Postcolonial Literature is the first major collaborative overview
of the field. A mix of geographic and thematic chapters allows
for different viewpoints on postcolonial literary history. Chapters
cover the most important national traditions, as well as more comparative
geographical and thematic frameworks. This major reference
work will set the future agenda for the field, whilst also
synthesizing its development for scholars and students.
