POL 118 - Postcolonial Theory

Upper Division

Prerequisites
First-year students may not register for this course.

Postcolonialism may be defined as the perspective provided by theories that analyze the conditions of postcoloniality and seek to combat the continuing, often covert, operation of an imperialist system of economic, political and cultural domination. In this course we will discuss, through the lens of postcolonial theories, texts that have been produced by people from countries with a history of colonialism, particularly those concerned with the workings and legacy of colonialism and resistance to it, in either the past or the present.
