Literary Criticism
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Great Book - Literary Criticism related to the notion of Colonialism - Be warned, this is not a book about Colonialism and texts on that topic, it is a Reader of Literary Criticism based on the writings of colonial, post-colonial and interested writers. The text is heavy and dense and for those without a background in English and Criticism it will be hard going.
A superb (if expensive) college teaching resource
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is one of the best cultural-theoretical "readers" on the marketplace today, and should be indispensable addition to course syllabi for those wanting to teach postcolonial culture. All of the big names are here (Said, Anderson, Spivak, Bhabha, Fanon), and they've been helpfully redacted down to facilitate their accessibility--Spivak's and Bhabha's notoriously pompous and prolix styles have been edited to the point where students can actually discover the important points hidden away in the mire of verbiage.My only disappointment with this reader is that so much has been included into it that it's price is somewhat steep--I think Ashcroft et. al. could've kept the price down by being a little less inclusive. But this is a terrific resource for anyone who wants to bring postcolonial theory into a class.
