| De-Scribing Empire: Post-Colonialism and Textuality Subjects: Humanities; Language & Literature; Cultural Studies; Literature; Race & Ethnicity; Interdisciplinary Literary Studies; Post-Colonial Studies; De-Scribing Empire is a stunning collection of first-class essays. Collectively they examine the formative role of books, writing and textuality in imperial control and the fashioning of colonial world-views. The volume as a whole puts forward strategies for understanding and neutralising that control, and as such is a major contribution to the field. It will be invaluable for students in post-colonialist criticism. |
