Veni, Vidi, Vici: Postcolonial Studies Comes of Age
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-18, 09:57 authored by Simoes da Silva, AJThis review article offers a critical assessment of Ato Quayson's Cambridge History of Postcolonial Literature (2012), engaging in passing with a debate between postcolonial theorists that appeared also in 2012 in the New Literary History (43.1 & 2). It posits that the History presents postcolonial literature, and indeed postcolonial studies, as much too settled fields, a view clearly at odds both with their genesis and with that reflected in the essays in NLH.
