Postcolonial Theory
ENGL 272 SP

Postcolonial theory has taught us a great deal about power and its creation, its maintenance and its resistance. This class will examine some of the major issues within the field of power, the construction of the colonial subject, the role of literary studies, the discourse of the nation, the female subject, and the problematic potential of postmodernism.
