Asunto: Page on the term "postcolonial"


>I have written a document entitled "'Postcolonial Literature': Problems
>with the Term" which is now on the Web at
><http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/anglophone/postcolonial.html>. It is aimed at
>my students studying the subject and is an attempt at articulating my own
>problems with the term and the concept. It is not meant to be a
>comprehensive overview or even a scholarly paper: just a pedagogical
>device, aimed especially at undergraduates and graduate students without
>much background in the field.
>
>I am looking for comments and suggestions.

>It also contains at the bottom a list of links for Web sources on
>Colonialism's "greatest hits." I am looking for pages on Rhodes in Africa,
>slavery on the sugar plantations of Jamaica and Cuba and a better account
>of the Belgians in the Congo. What I want are clear, factual, detailed
>expositions of events readable by intelligent undergraduates but based on
>scholarship--preferably with bibliographies attached. Suggestions for
>additions would be most welcome. The idea is to give a few quick, vivid
>examples for students whose knowledge of the subject is extremely vague.
