Our next Postcolonial Perspectives meeting will take place next Tuesday, 15 June, from 3.15-5.15 in the Treehouse in the BSB, where we will be discussing 'Empire and Class'.
Suggested reading material(available from the table next to the photocopier on the lower ground floor of the BSB or alternatively you can get the books out of the library if you can't make it to the BSB):
* Epstein, James. 'Taking Class Notes on Empire'. In Catherine Hall and Sonya O. Rose (eds.). At Home with the Empire.
* Dirks, Nicholas B. 'Introduction: The Modernity of Caste' In Nicholas B. Dirks Castes of Mind: Colonialism and the Making of Modern India.
In addition to the critical texts, it would be useful if everyone could think of one or two examples from literature, film, art, .... which represents the issue of 'Empire and Class' and in how far it agrees (or disagrees) with the issues raised in the texts.
