Description
Decolonizing Literature: An Introduction by Anna Bernard explores how to participate in the urgent intellectual and political project of decolonizing literary studies. In lively prose, Bernard examines work already done within and beyond academia, challenging readers to think about where this journey goes from here. She suggests ways to recognize and respond to the political work that texts do, considering questions of language and translation, comparative reading, ideological argument, and genre in relation to the history of anticolonial struggle. This book is a valuable resource for those concerned with the development and future of literary studies. By showing that decolonizing literary studies is already underway, Bernard provides a foundation for further exploration and growth.
