The Postcolonial Studies website (PS) is a project in progress at the English Department at Emory University. Begun in Spring 1996, it is intended to serve primarily as a resource for students of postcolonial literature and theory at Emory University. Another important objective, however, is to provide a site on the Web where people from around the country and around the world can come for an introduction to major topics and issues in Postcolonial Studies. The information provided is not intended to be either exhaustive or authoritative, but rather to furnish a scaffolding for more intensive explorations into a field that is rapidly becoming very important.

More information and links will be made available each semester as students taking courses in the field make their contributions available. As the project evolves, established sites will be revised and added to; in some cases, complementary pages may be added to existed pages. Currently, PS contains almost a hundred pages on postcolonial authors, theorists, terms and issues. Please note that we have tried to avoid duplication of existing resources on the internet in this project; hence the absence of certain obvious topics which may be found elsewhere on the web quite readily.

Topic pages are linked to other relevant pages where appropriate and to other resources available on the Internet. If you have any comments or corrective information, please e-mail the faculty developer of this project, Deepika Bahri.  Please note that we are not able to furnish email, snail mail or any other contact information about the many authors, critics, and artists listed on this site.
