This class will focus on works of literature from the former British Empire that "write back" or resist the colonial identity formed by their relationship with the colonizer. We will read works from formerly colonized countries such as Ireland, India, the Caribbean islands, and the many countries of Africa, as well as works from "settler" colonies such as Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. In this course we will approach postcolonial literature both as an important component of the study of canonical English literature in the past century and as the literature of colonial and a post-colonial societies frequently driven to the margins in the reality of life in the Empire. Our focus this semester will be national identity: how writers deal with identity-related issues such as language, religion, and cultural practices, how personal identity connects with national identity, and how national identities are formed and what they mean.
