Summary
Choosing the Postcolonial and World Literature pathway will allow you to explore the emergence of postcolonial and world literatures in English, and the histories of empire and decolonization underpinning these literatures. You will consider how different postcolonial cultures have transformed genre and form; and how the global intersections of race, gender, sexuality and diaspora have changed our ways of reading literature’s worldliness.
