Postcolonial Literature Today

Postcolonial literature has come a long way from re-visiting colonial-era histories and narratives. It has widened its net to study the plight of the subaltern and the marginalized belonging not only to the formerly colonized but also to other societies. There are, therefore, calls for signifying these time as the post-Postcolonial phase. It is the right time to study the theory, practice and politics of postcolonial narratives including films, which the book does, with a special focus on Amitav Ghosh, Salman Rushdie, Jhumpa Lahiri, Kumaran Asan, Khalid Hosseini, Satyajit Ray, Manoj Das, Tayyab Salih and Ahdaf Soueif.
