Postcolonial Imaginings: Fissions and Fusions

ABOUT THE BOOK-

Although a relatively new force in academic circles, post colonialism has rapidly expanded its conceptual reach over recent years so that it now depicts, “a remarkably heterogeneous set of subject positions, professional fields and critical enterprises.” Self-consciously a literature of otherness and resistance written out of the specific local experience, post colonial studies generates new literary avenues and opens up new vistas for the once colonized and to the past imperial forces and serve as a mighty intellectual force .

              Post colonial Imaginings: Fissions and Fusions, is designed to rethink the assumptions and discursive manoeuvres of post colonialism and assess its relationship to the other fields of inquiry. In a field as diverse and contentious as postcolonial literary studies, the scholarly articles attempt to introduce the major issues and debates in the postcolonial terrain and aims to address the great scope, rich heterogeneity and vast energy of postcolonial literary studies. The anthology brings together many of the key and well established contributors to post colonialism as well as the voices of emergent scholars. The conversational quality of the volume provides a compelling portrait of post colonialism’s development that will be valuable to all the scholars, students and teachers of English Literature.
