| | A Consideration of Camus's "The First Man" as a Postcolonial Work -Carol Elliott |
 | | The idea of this existential state is held to be true universally and it is Camus's support of the universal that constitutes a break with postcolonial thought which rejects the idea of the universal as being a fabrication of Western ideology. | | | But Camus does not end his vision there, leaving the individual in a desolate state. | | | Using the facts of his own childhood in Algeria, Camus constructs the philosophy that he developed in his other works; namely, the idea that the individual exists in a solitary state but is united with others by virtue of the universal nature of this state. |

| | The second college edition of The American Heritage Dictionary defines it as "of, relating to, or being the time following the establishment of independence in a colony." In practice, however, the term is used much more loosely. | | | Some of the best known names in Postcolonial literature and theory are those of Chinua Achebe, Homi Bhabha, Buchi Emecheta, Frantz Fanon, Jamaica Kincaid, Salman Rushdie, Wole Soyinka, and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak. | | | The growing currency within the academy of the term "postcolonial" (sometimes hyphenated) was consolidated by the appearance in 1989 of The Empire Writes Back: Theory and Practice in Post-Colonial Literatures by Bill Ashcroft, Gareth Griffiths, and Helen Tiffin. |

| | IndiaStar Review of Books. "South Asians and Postcoloniality" reviewed by C.J.S. Wallia |
| | Predictably, Anwar Shaikh, a British national, has been also recently "fatwa-ized" for his writing. | | | Indrani Mitra, assistant professor of English at Mount St. Mary's College, Maryland, in her essay, "Luminous Brahmin Children Must Be Saved: Imperialist Ideologies, 'Postcolonial' Histories in Bharati Mukherjee's 'The Tiger's Daughter'" questions whether Mukherjee's work should be included in the canon of Postcolonial literature at all. | | | Academics reacted to the term "Postcolonial" more favorably than to the pejorative "third world"; administrators welcomed it as less threatening than "imperialistic" or "neocolonialistic." And the prevailing political stances of poststructuralism and postmodernism readily provided it a sympathetic audience. |

| | Postcolonial Literature |
| | Not only is the term "postcolonial" exceedingly fuzzy, it can also be argued that it is also often ineffective. | | | This is undoubtedly what the term originally meant, but there are many problems with this definition. | | | Bharati Mukherjee specifically rejects the label "Indian-American," though she is an immigrant from India, and Rushdie prefers to be thought of as a sort of multinational hybrid (though he has, on occasion, used the label "postcolonial" in his own writing). |

| | Postcolonial Cultural Studies |
| | Postcolonial writing is also related to other concepts that have resulted from internal colonialization, such as the repression of minority groups: Chicanos in the United States, Gastarbeiter in Germany, Beurs in France, and so on. | | | Postcolonial (cultural) studies (PCS) constitutes a major intervention in the widespread revisionist project that has impacted academia since the 1960s--together with such other counterdiscourses that are gaining academic and disciplinary recognition as Cultural Studies, women's studies, Chicano studies, African-American studies, gender studies, and ethnic studies. | | | We can single out various schools of postcolonial criticism, those who homogenize and see postcolonial writing as resistance (Said, Barbara Harlow, Abdul JanMohamed, Spivak) and those who point out that there is no unitary quality to postcolonial writing (Homi Bhabha,Arun P. Mukherjee, Parry). |

| | A Postcolonial conception of the High School Multicultural Literature Curriculum |
| | This conception validates the rights and experiences of individual students while helping them to see that they are not alone in their struggles against racial oppression and in their desire to be valued members of both the local and global communities. | | | And it was thus my task in the dissertation to contrast the postcolonial approach to the teaching of multicultural literature in high schools with each of the major traditional approaches which are presently practised in Canada and the United States. | | | By comparing the postcolonial approach with these other conceptions my goal was not to reject the useful features of the curricula commonly in use in high school English courses throughout Canada and the United States. |

| | Postcolonial Film by John Ziniewicz |
| | A postcolonial filmmaker thus not only has the freedom to express himself artistically and place his own subjective meaning, which forms a closed objective meaning, into the film; but also is free of the cultural restraints of the semiotics of Europe. | | | He is ultimately completely free to invent his own form of visual language. | | | Just as the people within postcolonial countries begin to desire the isolation of nationalistic politics, because they wish through self- creation to assert themselves as independent and uniquely different from their colonial centers; the filmmakers within these nations strive to create a filmic language that is unique and detached from colonial influences. |

| | Some Issues in Postcolonial Theory |
| | Every colony had an emerging literature which was an imitation of but differed from the central British tradition, which articulated in local terms the myths and experience of a new culture, and which expressed that new culture as, to an extent, divergent from and even opposed to the culture of the "home", or colonizing, nation. | | | This page addresses some of the complexities of the post-colonial situation, in terms of the writing and reading situation of the colonized people, and of the colonizing people. | | | As well, the concept of resistance carries with it or can carry with it ideas about human freedom, liberty, identity, individuality, etc., which ideas may not have been held, or held in the same way, in the colonized culture's view of humankind. |
