Description

This course examines writing in English or in English translation from the formerly colonised nations of the world. It explores the rich literature generated by a confrontation with political and global forces, and the influence of more than one literary tradition on the formation of texts. The course examines literature, film and popular culture, within the context of local histories, politics and cultural patterns.
