The Postcolonial Short Story: Contemporary Essays - Paperback

by Maggie Awadalla (Author), Paul March-Russell (Author)

This book puts the short story at the heart of contemporary postcolonial studies and questions what postcolonial literary criticism may be. Focusing on short fiction between 1975 and today - the period in which critical theory came to determine postcolonial studies - it argues for a sophisticated critique exemplified by the ambiguity of the form.
