Bücher der Reihe OXFORD STUDIES IN POSTCOLONIAL LITERATURES

Beginning with an overview of European representations of the Pacific, Michelle Keown presents a broad-ranging introduction to the postcolonial literatures of the Pacific from the late 1960s through to the new millennium, focusing mainly on writing in English, but also exploring the growing corpus of francophone and hispanophone Pacific writing.

West African Literatures provides students with fresh, in-depth perspectives on the key debates in the field. The aim of this book is not to provide an authoritative, encyclopaedic account, but to consider a selection of the region's literatures in relation to prevailing discussions about literature and postcolonialism.
