Purchase options and add-ons

Postcolonialism has become one of the most exciting, popular and stimulating fields of literary and cultural studies in recent years. Yet the variety of approaches, the range of debate and the critical vocabularies often used may make it challenging for new students to establish a firm foothold in this area. Beginning Postcolonialism is a vital resource for those taking undergraduate courses in postcolonial studies for the first time and has become an established international best-seller in the field. In this fully revised and updated second edition, John McLeod introduces the major areas of concern in a clear, accessible and organised fashion. He provides an overview of the emergence of postcolonialism as a discipline and closely examines its many established critical approaches while also exploring important recent initiatives in the field. In particular, Beginning Postcolonialism demonstrates how many key postcolonial ideas and concepts can be effectively applied when reading texts and enables students to develop their own independent thinking about the possibilities and pitfalls of postcolonial critique. -- .

Great as an introduction to postcolonial studies. I use this as a starting point for each area of postcolonial studies, before delving deeper into the topic

Excellent work with references to more secondary literature, "stop and think" sections, and explanations of the more difficult postcolonial texts. For anyone who is not very familiar with postcolonialism this is the perfect work to start with. Concise and intelligently written!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Introduction to Postcolonialism

This book was on the reading list for university so I had to buy it. I found that it was a well written introduction to the subject and in its clear down to earth writing lived up to the title Beginning Postcolonialism. The author John McLeod should be congratulated on writing an introduction that explains professional jargon without bias towards particular theories in the field. Perhaps the most useful part of the book is the suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter for those that wish to look more closely into certain aspects of postcolonial theory.
