Tentative booklist for my Colonial and Post-colonial Literature class -- funfun!! I love it that I get to teach lit, even if it generally is a hellacious amount more work than teaching creative writing. It won't necessarily be in this order. It was brutal, trimming it down to just ten required texts!!!
- Kim, Rudyard Kipling
- King Solomon's Mines, H. Rider Haggard
- Things Fall Apart, Chinua Achebe
- Irish Writing: An Anthology of Irish Literature in English 1789-1939, Stephen Regan
- A Small Place, Jamaica Kincaid
- Cracking India, Bapsi Sidhwa
- Midnight's Children, Salman Rushdie
- The Lion and the Jewel, Wole Soyinka
- White Teeth, Zadie Smith
- the bone people, Keri Hulme
- The Rise and Fall of the British Empire, Lawrence James (optional, on reserve)
- The Post-Colonial Studies Reader, Ashcroft, Griffiths, and Tiffins, eds. (optional, on reserve)
