from countries previously colonised by Britain, an output which has changed the map of English literature. This book introduces a wide range of Anglophone post-colonial writing from Africa, Australia, the Caribbean, India, Ireland and Britain, as well as other areas. Unlike most previous studies of postcolonial literature, this book places its emphasis on the literary texts rather than the theoretical ones. It offers detailed discussion of texts by many internationally renowned authors, including Chinua Achebe from Nigeria, James Joyce from Ireland, Salman Rushdie from India, Les Murray from Australia, and Derek Walcott from the Caribbean. It also includes brief historical surveys of the main areas discussed, a glossary of terms, and biographical notes on major authors.

whose lands were formerly subjugated to colonial rule. In previous volumes of this series, the research literature of former British colonies Australia, Canada, Ireland, and New Zealand have been addressed. This volume offers guidance for those researching the postcolonial literature of the former British colonies in Africa, the Caribbean, and South Asia. Among the forty nations represented in this volume are South Africa, India, Pakistan, Ghana, Jamaica, Swaziland, Belize, and Namibia. With the exception of South Africa (which formed the Union of South Africa in 1910), this guide picks up its coverage in 1947, when both India and Pakistan gained their independence. The literature created by writers from these nations represents the diverse experiences in the postcolonial condition and are the subject of this book. The volume provides best-practice suggestions for the research process and discusses how to take advantage of primary text resources in a variety of formats, both digital and paper based: bibliographies, indexes, research guides, archives, special collections, and microforms.
Dennis Walder guides the reader through the historical, linguistic and theoretical issues that inform post-colonial literary study. He then goes on to provide three detailed case studies, focusing upon Indian fiction in English, Caribbean and Black British poetry and contemporary South African literature. In a searching final chapter he considers, through a focus upon work by Ariel Dorfman, V. S. Naipaul and Michael Ondaatje, the questions of what might follow 'After Post-Colonialism'. Among the writers and theorists discussed are: Achebe, Brathwaite, Bhaba, Gordimer, Fanon, Freud, Henry Louis Gates, Jr, C. L. R. James, Marx, Mhlophe, Miller, Narayan, Ngugi, Nichols, Said, Sahgal, Sartre, Spivak, Trivedi and Walcott.
