Download or read book Postcolonial Theory in the Global Age written by Om Prakash Dwivedi and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2013-08-29 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new essays in this collection examine newer forms of colonialism operating today in an increasingly globalized world. Recognizing the complexities and culpability of postcolonial politics, the contributors fill gaps that exist at theoretical levels of postcolonial studies. By studying film, literature, history and architecture, they arrive at new ideas about immigration, gender, cultural translation, identity and the future. The collection is driven by notions of ethics, an increasingly influential force at the grassroots if not the international level, addressing capitalism and its attendant drawbacks throughout the course of the book.
