ENGL 5805 - What is Postcolonial Critique?

Effective Start Date: 09/28/2022
What is postcolonial critique? Is it a way of reading a text? Does it refer to the processes of historical decolonization in places like Africa, India, and the Caribbean? Or is it a practice of critical thought that can be used to think across multiple spaces and times? In this course, we will approach these questions by reading a wide range of writers including Gayatri Spivak, Edouard Glissant, Achille Mbembe, Susan Buck-Morss, and C.L.R. James.
