Summary

Writing Postcolonial History addresses the relationship between postcolonial theory and history. It provides students with critical analyses of postcolonial histories from around the world. In addition, it discusses the benefits and shortcomings of this kind of writing by situating postcolonial history amidst other modes of historical inquiry. The field of postcolonial history is complex. Even though many scholars share in a set of common presuppositions, there are still important differences in emphasis. Through discussion of key texts, this book provides students with an accessible analysis and distillation of the key areas of debate.
