Postcolonial Studies and Beyond
This interdisciplinary book expands the agenda of postcolonial studies, assesses the field's past, and maps its possible future. It considers the intellectual, political, and methodological practices that have shaped-and which should shape-postcolonial modes of thought. The effort is to reinvent the field. Such reinvention has been happening but, having already influenced perspectives and methods across disciplines, postcolonial studies is becoming increasingly institutionalized. To remain useful, it needs new direction and emphases. About Author : ANIA LOOMBA is Catherine Bryson Professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania.
