It's good as a brief glimpse into what Postcolonial Literary Studies are.

[Eavan Wong · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good overview but it assumes that you know the literature well already.

[Serien · Rating 3 out of 5]

Only Read Post colonial literature and the western literary canon by John Marx but it was banging

[Rhiannon · Rating 3 out of 5]

My only issue with this text: light on the "literary"; heavy on the cultural/political/economic.
