The Oxford Handbook of Postcolonial Studies

The Oxford Handbook of Postcolonial Studies provides a comprehensive overview of the latest scholarship in postcolonial studies, while also considering possible future developments in the field.

Original chapters written by a worldwide team of contributors are organized into five cross-referenced sections, The Imperial Past, The Colonial Present, Theory and Practice, Across the Disciplines, and Across the World.

The chapters offer both country-specific and comparative approaches to current issues, offering a wide range of new and interesting perspectives.

The Handbook reflects the increasingly multidisciplinary nature of postcolonial studies and reiterates its continuing relevance to the study of both the colonial past--in its multiple manifestations--and the contemporary globalized world.

Taken together, these essays, the dialogues they pursue, and the editorial comments that surround them constitute nothing less than a blueprint for the future of a much-contested but intellectually vibrant and politically engaged field.
