LITR 225H Postcolonial Literature: Honors

Generally understood as the literature written in countries that have gone through colonization and decolonization, postcolonial literature includes writing concerned with a wide variety of political and literary issues that include, but are by no means limited to: colonial power and anticolonial conflict, political and cultural legacies of imperialism in the newly independent postcolony, and the role of diaspora. Our class will be structured around these three broad sets of ideas, and will attempt the daunting work of balancing a global understanding of the various moves in postcolonial literature with a particularized and intense analysis of individual works. This is an Honors class. In addition to other possible pre-requisites, students need a minimum G.P.A. of 3.50 or higher to enroll.
