description: Originally from Nigeria, Okonkwo (English, U. College Chester, England) challenges the prevailing western-originated concept of postcoloniality as an attempt to submerge Third World anti-colonialist writing under western strategic calculations for the post-cold war era. Rather than homogenizing all literature that is not white, male, and privileged, he distinguishes between that of Europe's temporarily disadvantaged insiders, the outposts of European imperialism in the Americas and Australasia, and of third-world peoples and ethnic minorities within dominant countries.
