This is an excellent introduction."--Times Higher Education Supplement"Boehmer presents a comprehensive, lucid, and nuanced account of both the literature of the British empire and the literature in opposition to empire....Colonial and Postcolonial Literatureis as accessible to the newcomer to the field as it is useful to the specialist."--World Literature Today
