Selection Statement:

This publication is a collection of essays on postcolonial theory by key figures in the field. I first encountered the book as a graduate student, and it continues to inform my research on literature, Africa and the diaspora. It challenged me to rethink literary texts and provided me with new tools to investigate the relationship between literature and culture.
