Beskrivning

This powerful selection of essays proposes practices of reading and criticism to make the field of postcolonial studies more fully attentive to historical circumstances and socio-material conditions. Benita Parry points to 'directions and dead ends' in the discipline she has helped to shape, with a first series of essays vigorously challenging colonial discourse theory and postcolonialism as we have known them. She then turns to literature with a series of detailed readings that not only demonstrate her theoretical position at work, but also give new dimensions to widely studied texts by Rudyard Kipling, Joseph Conrad, H. G. Wells and E. M. Forster. Parry argues throughout that the material impulses of colonialism, its appropriation of physical resources, exploitation of human labour and institutional repression have too long been allowed to recede from view.

Recensioner i media

'Postcolonial Studies offers a solid and subtly argued theoretical framework within which a reconfigured critique of colonialism and its neo-imperial forms can develop.' - English: The Journal of the English Association 'Benita Parry's challenging essays form part of a vital critical legacy that is able to avoid the pitfalls of hermeneutic over-simplification in the hope of transcending the institutions and values of capitalism.' - Wasafiri
