ENGLĀ 355. Post-Colonial Studies in Literature. (4).

This course examines literature in the context of colonialism and imperialism. "Postcolonial" refers both to the former colonies of European and American imperial powers, such as Africa, the Caribbean, India, Ireland and the Philippines, as well as to a mode of reading literature that studies the consequences of colonization and decolonization. Course texts, which may include fiction, nonfiction, poetry and/or drama by writers from current and former colonized countries, will be studies with attention to hybrid identity, race, gender, and language.
