Interdisciplinary Measures

Where now for postcolonial studies? That is the central question in this new volume from one of the field's most original thinkers. Not so long ago, the driving force behind postcolonial criticism was literary; increasingly, however, many have claimed that the future of postcolonial studies is interdisciplinary. "Interdisciplinary Measures" thoroughly considers this alternative trajectory through the field of postcolonial studies by setting up a series of conversations among these newly postcolonial disciplines--notably geography, environmental studies, history, and anthropology--and literary studies in which the imaginative possibilities of non-Western epistemologies are brought to the fore.
