Post-Colonial Studies: The Key Concepts

This book literally got me through my MA Thesis. Not only does it have thorough introductions to complex theories (without being books unto themselves), but there is enough cross-referencing to make even the more advanced theories more understandable.

This second edition of Post-colonial Studies was updated in 2007 and is essential for anyone interested in Post-colonial or subaltern studies. The authors are synonymous with this field of study and have written extensively on this subject. Post-colonial Studies' encylopedic format makes the contents easily accessible. Each entry is comprehensive but concise and includes a list of recent literature for further reading. Recommended for tertiary students.
