Content
This unit will study literary, film and theoretical texts from a range of post-colonial cultures (Australia, Kenya, West Indies, England and South Africa). Students will be asked to read these texts as individual literary and film works; to relate their readings to broader historical and ideological questions; and too develop a range of imaginative and analytical responses to questions which arise within post-colonial contexts around issues of identity, race, gender, language and diaspora.
