Subject: decolonisation and colonial discourse
Date: Thu, 31 Aug 2000 11:38:15 +1100 (EST)


Dear List members

Does anyone know of works that critique discourses of colonialism
specifically in the Pacific, or more generally,  in a period beginning
roughly after WW2 when the decolonisation process for many Pacific states
began? Critique of earlier periods, when colonisation was in full swing are
common. What I am after is an examination of the period marked by
discourses of liberalism, albeit it many ways contradictory, that resulted
in the loosening of the reigns and eventual political independence in the
60s and 70s.

Thanks in advance,
Greg Burnett
