Course Title:
Postcolonial Literature
Course Number:
259
Course Description:
The course approaches contemporary literature by Anglophone writers from different parts of the world as an index both
of distinct cultures and of cultural interaction and/or imposition, examining the ways in which the repercussions of
imperialism and colonization can be traced in these works. Employing the concepts and theory of postcolonial studies and
literature, students engage in close reading of selected works in order to determine how major thematic and stylistic
concerns are reflective of diverse intellectual and cultural realities. As a critical reading and writing course, it will offer
students the opportunity to develop a deeper awareness of the impact of social, political, economic, and cultural contexts
on human creativity, types and styles of interaction, and perspectives. (3 credits)
