Excellent reference book on postcolonialist theory!, Sep 29 2008
By lotsabooks "many_colors" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Post-Colonial Studies: The Key Concepts (Paperback)
This book literally got me through my MA Thesis. Not only does it have thorough introductions to complex theories (without being books unto themselves), but there is enough cross-referencing to make even the more advanced theories more understandable.

Post-colonial studies: the key concepts by Ashcroft et al., May 8 2008
By Michele Bilinsky - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Post-Colonial Studies: The Key Concepts (Hardcover)
This second edition of Post-colonial Studies was updated in 2007 and is essential for anyone interested in Post-colonial or subaltern studies. The authors are synonymous with this field of study and have written extensively on this subject.Post-colonial Studies' encylopedic format makes the contents easily accessible. Each entry is comprehensive but concise and includes a list of recent literature for further reading.
Recommended for tertiary students.

eh..., Dec 30 2008
By John Roberts "John in Omaha" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Post-Colonial Studies: The Key Concepts (Paperback)
I doubt this book would have many sales if it wasn't required for college classes. That's why I bought it and found it less than interesting. Actually as I read it I found myself just thinking that it sounds argumentative just to be argumentative. It doesn't really provide any great insight and is really just an introduction book.So if you're looking for an introduction to post colonial studies this is a great start, but if you're looking for something beyond the surface I'd look elsewhere.
