Title: A Historical Companion to Postcolonial Literatures - Continental Europe and Its Empires
Description: Radical, intrepid, compendious, /A Historical Companion to Postcolonial Literatures/, goes far toward restoring'postcolonialism'to its historical premises by resituating that imperial project in its much changed and still controversial cartographies.
