                Postcolonialism Across the Disciplines
Description: Bongie explores the commemoration and commodification of the post/colonial using early nineteenth-century Caribbean texts alongside contemporary works. Taking Haiti as a key example he writes lucidly of the processes by which Haiti?s world-historical revolution has been commemorated both in the colonial era and in our own postcolonial age--an age in which it is increasingly difficult to separate the reality of memories of anti-colonial resistance from the processes of commodification through which alone those memories can now be thought.
