AUTHOR-APPROVED A Historical Companion to Postcolonial Literatures - Continental Europe and its Empires Edited by Prem Poddar, Rajeev S. Patke and Lars Jensen Regional Editors: John Beverley, Charles Forsdick, Pierre-Philippe Fraiture, Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Theo Dh'aen, Lars Jensen, Birthe Kundrus, Elizabeth Monasterios, Phillip Rothwell 'Radical, intrepid, compendious, /A Historical Companion to Postcolonial Literatures/, goes far toward restoring 'postcolonialism' to its historical premises by resituating that imperial project in its much changed and still controversial cartographies. It will of necessity rechart the itinerary of students and critical travellers across and around "continental Europe and its empires".' - Barbara Harlow, University of Texas at Austin 'The /Companion/ is unique in that it provides a wealth of analysis and information about all European continental powers and their colonies and presents the entire assembly in a wonderful mis-en-scène. It is a "true" companion that invites trans-cultural readings of trans-cultural literatures.' - Walter Mignolo, Duke University /A thorough reference work to the contexts of the postcolonial literatures of Continental European Empires./ Written by recognised scholars in the fields of postcolonial studies, the entries cover major events, ideas, movements, and figures in postcolonial histories. They range across the entire period from European overseas exploration, settlement and colonisation to decolonisation, and highlight the relevance of colonial histories to the cultural, social, political and literary formations of contemporary postcolonial societies and nations. Each entry provides a succinct account of an event or topic, as well as lists of further reading. Prem Poddar is Alexander von Humboldt Senior Fellow at Zentrum Moderner Orient in Berlin. Rajeev Patke is Professor of English at the National University of Singapore. Lars Jensen is a Lecturer at Cultural Encounters, Roskilde Univer
