"A major turn-of-the-century resource. The Encyclopedia of
Postcolonial Studies catalogs the changes and continuities that
connect 19th-century colonial ambitions with 21st century critical
aspirations. The international scholars who contribute to this
critical itinerary themselves represent the emergent and vanguard
ranks of academic and disciplinary transformations in the new age
of globalization."-Professor Barbara Harlow University of Texas,
Austin author of Resistance Literature
?[t]his volume belongs on the bookshelf of every advanced student
of postcolonial studies.?-Religious Studies Review
?[A]n excellent reference work useful for the initiated and the
novice....For Africanists it will open new territory while bringing
African material into proper focus as well.?-Research in African
Literatures
?[G]iven the volume's title and its laudably wide methodological
remit, the focus on postcolonial literary studies comes as a
surprise, with the visual arts, film, and music being somewhat
underrepresented, as are culture, politics and ocial history,
anthropology, and economics. Even so, with almost one hundred
collaborators from around the globe, Hawley indeed creates a unique
"Forum for international voices" and represents well the
considerably widened geographical and cultural scope of
postcolonial studies.?-World Literature Today
?A useful guide for scholars and students, lower-division through
graduate, working within global contexts in a variety of fields,
particularly literary, cultural, and area studies.?-Choice
?Libraries serving multicultural literature and related disciplines
will want to have this volume.?-American Reference Books Annual
