The richness and diversity of post-colonial literatures is self-evident. They are widely read and studied, even in those countries where the dominance of the Anglo-American tradition was once unquestioned. Yet there is no single, readily available anthology, informed by contemporary thinking, that offers a wide-ranging introduction to the creative writing of post-colonial authors. This new anthology remedies the deficiency, offering access to the work of some 200 writers. It is the most comprehensive introductory cross-section of anglophone post-colonial writing yet available, striking a balance between acknowledged 'classic' texts and exciting new works that are taking post-colonial writing in fresh directions. The anthology makes available a very considerable body of work by major post-colonial writers and at the same time provides a valuable source book for the exploration of central post-colonial themes and theories
