I think one book you will definitely need is Said's _Orientalism_. Such
reading of texts is important for all who desire to acquire skill for
doing poco criticism. Another that I would suggest is Achebe's essay on
Conrad's Heart of Darkness (circa 1975).


For more militant stuff, see Resistance Literature (the author's name
doesn't come immediately to mind).

If you want something more advanced, my prof uses Foucault's Archeology
of Knowledge for his Poco Theory course.

Good luck with your course design. There are tons of stuff on poco out
there. I guess for an introductory course, you might need to go soft on
reading materials.

Hello All, 
Need some help; I teach in the Philosophy and Women's 
Studies and someone came up with the idea of my 
teaching a class entitled "Introduction To 
Post-colonial theory" (300-level) for Spring 2002. I 
need to do such things as flyers, syllabus outlines, 
etc. Can anyone suggest what I should include in a 
course entitled like that;what an "appropriate flyer" 
should include to draw students (grad credit also 
available). 
I have never taught this type of course here. It will 
be probably cross-listed with Culture Studies, 
so i am in dark. 
Thanks, 
Rinita
