1 1 y separately published work icon The Post-Colonial Detective Ed Christian (editor), Basingstoke : Palgrave , 2001 Z940684 2001 multi chapter work criticism Collection of twelve essays dealing with detective fiction within the theoretical framework of post-colonialism. An introduction to the peculiarities of the post-colonial detective and to post-colonial theory establishes a context in which to view more than a dozen notable detectives and authors from around the world, examining what happens to detective fiction when the detective is 'post-colonial', a marginalized native or settler in a country recovering from colonialism. Post-colonial detection is revealed as an exciting hybrid of western-influenced police methods and plot conventions and indigenous cultural insights and wisdom in exotic settings.
