Product Description

Product Description

This volume provides an introduction to the historical dimensions and theoretical concepts associated with colonial and post-colonial discourses. It examines: the ideologies and history of colonialism; the relationship of colonial discourse to literature; challenges to colonialism, surveying anticolonial discourses and recent developments in post-colonial theories and histories; and how sexuality is figured in the texts of colonialism and how contemporary feminist ideas and concepts intersect with those of post-colonialist thought. It includes writings of post-colonial theorists such as Edward Said, Abdul JanMohamed, Homi Bhabha and Gayatri Spivak.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good introduction to colonialism and postcolonialism, 8 April 2000
By smahadin@hotmail.com - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The New Critical Idiom : Colonialism/Postcolonialism (Paperback)
I read the book in the process of selecting a text-book that would serve the purpose of introducing my students to the tricky issues pertaining to colonialism and post-colonialism. I would have given it five stars if it were not for the author's failure sometimes in sufficiently expalining some of the terminology in connection with thinkers who influenced this discipline. I had no trouble sailing through her review of Said, Althusser, Fucault and other thinkers whose work I am familiar with but my students are not. I would definitely recommend this book for anyone interested in a conscise introduction to colonialism and postcolonialism but I have to warn you that some background reading is required first or else the first 30 or 40 pages would read like Double-Dutch to the uninformed or first-timer.

5.0 out of 5 stars INTRODUCING THE POST COLONIAL, 5 Oct 2003
By R.S.Kurup - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The New Critical Idiom : Colonialism/Postcolonialism (Paperback)
Comqests and Exodus are as old as human race&hence colonising is no new thing.But when we speak about colonialism we now mean the domination of Asia Africa &the far east by euoropean powers.Ania loomba analyses the phenomenon with unusual insight .
Loomba explores the mindset which lead to the conquest of the orient with the help of the wellknown Edward said book"orientalism"but never loses sight of the ground realities.Nor does she forgets the struggles of the oriental people which began almost simultaneous with the colonisation itself.She never loses sight of the great leaders GANDHI fANON &THE LIKE
She also mentions with prophetic insight the impending danger of neo colonialism.On the whole I feel It is the best Introduction to the theory called Post colonialism
