The first book of its kind in the field, this timely introduction to post-colonial theory offers lucid and accessible summaries of the major work of such key theorists as Frantz Fanon, Edward Said, Homi Bhabha and Gayatri Spivak. It also explores the lines of resistance against colonialism and highlights the theories of post-colonial identity that have been responsible for generating some of the most influential and challenging critical work of recent decades. Designed for undergraduates and postgraduates taking courses related to colonialism or post-colonialism, the book summarizes the major topics and issues as well as covering the contributions of central and less familiar figures in the field.
