Post-Colonial Literatures by M Parker

Post-Colonial Literatures by M Parker

This collection of essays reflects the intensified debate world-wide in literary theories, especially since 1968, and the growth of post-colonial literatures in English, which together have prompted significant re-readings of cultural histories in Africa, India, the Caribbean, as well as in America and Europe. Post-Colonial Literatures scrutinises the work of four writers: Achebe, Ngugi, Desai and Walcott, and their attempts to find new languages and new narratives to engage with the complex histories of their 'homelands'.

MICHAEL PARKER is Professor of English Literature, University of Central Lancaster. He is the author of a bestselling study, Seamus Heaney: The Making of the Poet, the editor of The Hurt World: Short Stories of the Troubles and the co-editor of Postcolonial Literatures.
