| Description: |
Offers short stories from both types of colonial and post-colonial literature: the British subjects in colonial settings and the colonised indigenous people. This work includes apparatus to help undergraduates understand British colonialism, and grasp the essentials of postcolonial theory as it applies to reading and understanding short fiction. |
| Synopsis: |
This anthology offers a balanced approach to colonial and postcolonial literature through a rich tapestry of short stories by both British colonizers and affected indigenous people. Organized by region, the compelling stories reflect the evolution of colonialism from the seventeenth to the twentieth century. Students explore the insights and emotions on both sides of the imperial fence, while learning about the hardships and triumphs of the colonial experience. A thorough pedagogical apparatus includes historical introductions, author headnotes, and reading questions that provide students with tools to approach each selection in an informed manner. Students come to appreciate how fiction both supported and questioned the basis and results of colonialism. |
