description: Book Summary of Postcolonial Theory: The Emergence Of A Critical Discourse Postcolonial literature-in the past variously referred to as Commonwelath literature, the New or World literatures in English-has not only found its way into university classrooms all over the world but has also triggered an immense number of critical studies, so much so that it is high time for a useful research aid to assist students and teachers in finding their way through 'the bush' of postcolonial studies. This selected and anntoted bibliography on theoretical aspects of postcolonial literature/studies will be their invaluable trailguide for many years to come. More than 360 entries are annotated concisely, arranged chronologically and referred to by their regional origin.
