LBAR 381: Junior Honors Seminar, Fall 1998
Post-Colonial Literatures of South Asia & Africa
Professor Harriette Andreadis

A note from the students:

In the fall of 1998 at Texas A&M University, eight unsuspecting honors students embarked on an intellectual journey into the realm of postcolonial studies. Listed below are online resources that we found helpful in our research and a list of books that we read and discussed over the course of the semester. Our research papers, the culmination of the semester's academic endeavors, are available on this server; a link will be supplied on request by Professor Andreadis..

Lots of Links and Information

The Voice of the Shuttle is the most comprehensive set of postcolonial hotlinks on the web. If you can't find it here, head to the library. Emory's site also offers a good deal of information on postcolonial authors, theories, terms, and issues, while Brown's web site includes pages on all of the formally mentioned topics in addition to a host of other issues.
