Br>this book provides an introduction to postcolonial literatures by uncovering their historical, Political, cultural and linguistic contexts. It tracks the growth of British mercantile/colonial expansion and consolidation not only through the era of high imperialism, rapid colonisation and the mid-twentieth-century collapse of the empire, but also through the nascent neocolonialism and globalising forces of the twenty-first century. Sarkar reads literature both related to British imperialism and written in opposition to it, produced at both the metropolitan centre and in the colonies.</br>.
