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.
