Description: Postcolonialism explores the political social and cultural effects of decolonization continuing the anti - colonial deconstruction of western dominance. This Very Short Introduction discusses both the history and key debates of postcolonialism and considers its importance as a means of changing the way we think about the world. Robert J. C. Young examines the key strategies that postcolonial thought has developed to engage with the impact of sometimes centuries of western political and cultural domination. Situating the discussion in a wide cultural and geographical context he draws on examples such as the status of indigenous peoples of those dispossessed from their land Algerian rai music and global social and ecological movements. In this new edition he also includes updated material on race slavery and postcolonial gender politics. Above all Young argues that postcolonialism offers a political philosophy of activism that contests the current situation of global inequality which in a new way continues the anti - colonial struggles of the past and enables us to decolonize our own lives in the present. About THE Series: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area These pocket - sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly Our expert authors combine facts analysis perspective new ideas and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable
