Tension in Post-Colonial Literature: Smart people, please help :)

[foremma]

Haha, I really need some help with understanding some concepts presented in class. Tomorrow my college English class is having a test, so I needdd to understand :D

Please explain to me, "the tension at the heart of post-colonial literature."

That's it! Thanks! Anything you think might help, please tell me :)

John McLeod's book Beginning Postcolonialism is a good place to start

Oh, good. At least we have one smart person to help...

I was starting to get worried.

:p

The post Colonial reader is also another good place to look.

How could so many smart people refuse this invitation to prove their smarts... except (perhaps) by refusing to do your homework for you?

I used 'The Postcolonial Studies Reader' for my essay on Imperialism and Postcolonialism and all that jazz. It's a huge textbook which covers everything you need.
