This course examines a selection of texts which have come to be known as “post-colonial”. This (problematic) term includes the works of writers under colonial rule, and of second generation immigrants. Writers of diverse ethnic groups, genders and socio- political affiliations figure under this umbrella term.


The course presents a variety of approaches to what may be termed the “postcolonial condition”. This condition is shared by the colonizer and the colonized, the immigrant and the native of the colonizing country, the center and the margins. In this spirit , we’ll look at the works of authors like George Orwell, Hanif Kureishi, Salman Rushdie, and others. We’ll also examine the theoretical background in an attempt to understand the controversy surrounding the term “postcolonial”. How does this theoretical engagement influence our concepts of gender, social and economic issues and culture? To what extent to these dissenting voices alter our perceptions of the binary oppositions which make up our world view?
