Date: Mon, 6 Nov 2000 12:58:06 -0800 From: Mark Franke <frankem-AT-unbc.ca> Subject: postcolonial relations Dear subscribers, I am currently creating and constructing a course to do with the impact of colonial/postcolonial processes on international affairs. My concerns are largely focused on inter-state structures, international law, nation-building, and international theory. I am relatively well-read in postcolonial theory. And I am quite sensitive to the postcolonial politics involved in contemporary international affairs. However, to date, there has been little writing within international studies/international relations that takes up postcolonial studies/theory in any strong way. So, I have been somewhat challenged in creating the reading list for the course. I believe that I have enough material with which to put on the course in a fine enough fashion. However, I would be interested to know if any one else out there has good recommendations for me. I plan to structure the course around the following three texts from U. of Minnesota Press: - Siba N. Grovogui, "Sovereigns, Quasi Sovereigns, and Africans - Roxanne L. Doty, "Imperial Encounters" - Sankaran Krishna, "Postcolonial Insecurities: India, Sri Lanka, and the Question of Naitonhood" I have found some interesting articles in some of the more progressive volumes of IR theory. And I have found very helpful material with respect to international law from: Eve Darian-Smith and Peter Fitzpatrick, eds., "Laws of the Postcolonial" (U. of Michigan Press). But, can any of you recommend further articles or books that would be of interest to read in this class? Please send all replies directly to my personal email address: <frankem-AT-unbc.ca>. I am not yet a subscriber to the postcolonial studies list. Thank you very much, Mark Franke. Dr. Mark F. N.
