ENGL 3340

Postcolonial studies aims to achieve a more just world. In this course, we will read literature and theory that grapple with colonialism as a global force that shapes politics and culture. At the same time, these readings will enable us to recognize traditions of anticolonial resistance as a powerful counterforce that produces change. In studying a variety of texts from regions such as the Caribbean, Africa, and South Asia, we will consider literary practices that can transform our world.
