First sentence: Theorising the nature of colonised subjectivity and of cultural and political resistance raises a number of questions: the place of national and nationalist culture in relation to political liberation; the nature of colonialism's cultural impact on the psyches of the colonised and vice versa; essentialist and anti-essentialist views of cultural identity.
