a reading list for (avoiding) postcolonial theory
Postcolonial theory is dense, its difficult to read. There is more to ‘theory from the south’ than its lugubrious absurdities. Theory must start from empirics, and postcolonial theory is not meant for that. I offer a reading list to get you started (avoiding) reading postcolonial theory, and spending more time in the archives or the field instead. Click here for the list and discussion questions.
