Postcolonialism : a very short introduction / Robert J.C. Young. - Oxford ; New York : Oxford University Press, 2003. - 180 pages : illustrations ; 18 cm. - Very short introductions ; n. 98 .
Includes bibliographical references (pages 159-170) and index.
1. Postcolonial Theory ; 2. Subaltern knowledge ; 3. Cultural hybridity ; 4. Postcolonial space ; 5. Gender ; 6. Conclusion
"This book is quite unlike any other introduction to postcolonialism. Robert Young examines the political, social, and cultural after-effects of decolonization by presenting situations, experiences, and testimony rather than examining the abstract theory. He situates the debate in a wide cultural context discussing its importance as an historical condition, using examples such as the status of aboriginal people, of those dispossessed from their land, Algerian rai music, postcolonial feminism, and global social and ecological movements. Above all, Young argues that postcolonialism offers a political philosophy of activism that contests the current situation of global inequality, which in a new way continues the anti-colonial struggles of the past."--Jacket
