The readings are drawn from a diverse selection of Third World and Western thinkers, both historical and contemporary. \"Post-colonialism\" is taken by the editors to include Third World and diasporic experience; like \"colonialism,\" it is understood to contain a complex set of cultural, ethnographic, political, and economic processes and conflicts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume explores such issues as the nature of colonized cultures and anti-colonial resistance; subaltern historiography; constructions of Western subjectivity, knowledge, and gender; the formation of post-colonial intellectuals; the metropolitan institutionalization of post-colonialism; neo-colonialism; and the nature of minority and post-colonial identity and discourse. One section is devoted to the application of theoretical formulations to cultural criticism, and contains a number of textual analyses. A general introduction to the volume as well as introductions to each section provide historical, theoretical, and poltical contexts for the readings. The book concludes with an extensive bibliography.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePatrick Williams is currently Senior Lecturer in the Department of Literature and Languages at Nottingham Trent University.
