Publisher Description:

In addition to providing an accessible introduction to postcolonial theory, the authors explore the enormous potential which postcolonial art offers educators--a wealth of material to draw upon for any rethinking of the school curriculum. Some of the artists discussed in this groundbreaking volume include:

  • African-American critic and writer James Baldwin
  • Trinidadian intellectual and activist C. L. R. James
  • Novelist Wilson Harris of Guyana
  • African-American novelist and Nobel laureate Toni Morrison
  • The painter Arnaldo Roche-Rabell of Puerto Rico
  • The Australian artist Gordon Bennett
  • The Haitian-Puerto Rican-American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat
  • Plus a look at popular "world musics" from around the globe.
