The expansion and contraction of European empires has been a decisive shaping force on modern history, literature and culture. And, just as the creation of these empires was key to the emergence of the modern world system, so too the struggles of the colonized peoples against imperial rule has also materially altered the world we live in today. In a world dominated by new superpowers, the issue of empire still remains a live one, and in Europe, America and the "postcolonial world" a great deal of artistic work and scholarly debate still wrestles with the tormented legacies of empire. The purpose of this MA is to develop a strong and theoretical understanding of the texts of colonialism and postcolonialism and to engage students in the lively debates about understandings of colonial and postcolonial histories and identities. This programme brings together the considerable research expertise of the Department of English in the field of postcolonial studies.
