Rinita,
     I agree with Nalin Jayasena, Ania Loomba'a
"Colonialism/Postcolonialism" is an excellent introduction to the field. I
would also add for your consideration Bart Moore-Gilbert's "Postcolonial
Theory".  The various readers in the field will also give your students a
good overview of the key theoretical issues in Postcolonial Theory and
Criticism. There are two with the same name which are good.  Colonial
discourse/postcolonial theory, one is edited by Peter Hulme, Frances Barker
and Margaret Iversen.  The other is edited by Patrick Williams and Laura
Chrisman.  As a non-traditional grad-student I found these works to be very
accessible intellectually.  Your students should have a lot of fun.
