    I bought Orientalism by Edward Said and Black Skin, White Masks by Frantz Fanon. In our university we had to make a departmental presentation on the topics of Colonialism & Orientalism so needed these texts.

    I'll make sure I buy it in the book fair then
    I have a great book by Anthony Burgess that I studied in the first year in college called English Literature...it's one of the best books tackling the topic actually.
