Throughout the semester, we will study literature penned by writers from former colonies. Focusing specifically on Africa, South Asia, and the Middle East, we will explore the cultural, historical, and political issues raised by these texts, and observe the way they participate in postcolonial resistance or push back. We will investigate a range of issues, including post-imperial identity, global migration, refugee crisis, race and gender, and national belonging in the aftermath of colonialism.
