{"product_id":"encyclopedia-of-postcolonial-studies-john-charles-hawley-9780313311925","title":"Encyclopedia of Postcolonial Studies","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe collapse of empires has resulted in a remarkable flourishing of indigenous cultures in former colonies. The end of the colonial era has also witnessed a renaissance of creativity in the postcolonial world as modern writers embrace their heritage. The experience of postcoloniality has also drawn the attention of academics from various disciplines and has given rise to a growing body of scholarship. This reference work overviews the present state of postcolonial studies and offers a refreshingly polyphonic treatment of the effects of globalization on literary studies in the 21st century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe volume includes more than 150 alphabetically arranged entries on postcolonial studies around the world. Entries on individual authors provide brief biographical details but primarily examine the author's handling of postcolonial themes. So too, entries on theoreticians offer background information and summarize the person's contributions to critical thought. Entries on national literatures explore the history of postcoloniality and the ways in which writers have broadly engaged their legacy, while those on important topics discuss the theoretical origin and current ramifications of key concepts in postcolonial studies. Cross-references and cited works for further reading are included, while a comprehensive bibliography concludes the volume.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Charles Hawley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313311927\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313311925\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Greenwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 520\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.56h x 6.50w x 1.33d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAmerican Reference Bks Annual\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2002 pg. 225\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRec Ref Bks for Small\/Med Libr\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2002 pg. 103\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2002 pg. 1218\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2002 pg. 203","brand":"John Charles Hawley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48152960499967,"sku":"9780313311925","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2cf69c7c-8f37-4689-bc6c-d9c22e38623c.jpg?v=1770780355","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/encyclopedia-of-postcolonial-studies-john-charles-hawley-9780313311925","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
