ENGL 171S SC - The Postcolonial Novel
This course will study the formation of a “postcolonial canon” within English literary studies through examining the form and content of the postcolonial novel. We will query the filiation between the form of the novel and nationalist narratives, as well as how the postcolonial novel has been commodified as “world literature” for Europe and the US. Additionally, we will attend to the way in which historical and political events from the postcolonial (or neocolonial) era are critiqued or registered. The syllabus will include texts by prominent and outsider voices from Africa, Australia, the Caribbean, and South Asia. This course meets the senior seminar requirement for Scripps English majors (please see “Senior Requirement in the English major” in the catalog) but is open to all students.
