'Bourdieu and Postcolonial Studies is a credit to Liverpool
University Press and to their increasingly world-leading series
Postcolonialism Across the Disciplines and Francophone Postcolonial
Studies. Its chapters represent a successful and illuminating
synthesis of new and previously published material, theoretical
engagement, and rigorous sociological analysis. At the same time,
it invites readers to rethink their understanding of literary
centers and margins and the flow of power between them. The
volume’s authors are clearly aware of--and sensitive to--the
travails, crises, and fragility of the field and, together, they
make a persuasive and reassuring defense of the possibilities for
resistance, opposition, and renewal in postcolonial literature and
postcolonial studies.'
John Strachan, H-France
Reviews'Engaging and insightful, this is a valuable contribution to
the continuing debate around the future of postcolonial studies,
and indeed the debates around its past.'
Professor Michael Kelly OBE, University of Southampton
