ISLAM AND THE POSTCOLONIAL

"Provides a key to understanding the issues which characterise post-colonialism, explaining what it is, where it is encountered and why it is crucial in forging new cultural identities. As a subject, post-colonial studies stands at the intersection of debates about race, colonialism, gender, politics and language. Among over 100 entries, this book includes definitions of: * diaspora * Fanonism * hybridity * imperialism * mimicry * miscegenation * negritude * orientalism * settler-colony * subaltern * trans-culturation There are suggestions for further reading at the end of each entry and a comprehensive glossary with extensive cross-referencing. The bibliography of essential writings in post-colonial studies is in an easy-to-use A-Z format."
