Description

"A major aspect of this survey will be to question the category of the ""postcolonial"" through readings of the novels and films, and through a critical/theoretical reader that will accompany the readings. We will want to articulate, along with these texts, the connections between the condition of ""postcoloniality"" on the one hand and the ongoing processes of ""globalization"" on the other. Active and regular class participation are required."
