• A useful guide for scholars and students, lower-division through graduate, working within global contexts in a variety of fields, particularly literary, cultural, and area studies.
  —Choice March 2002
• [G]iven the volume's title and its laudably wide methodological remit, the focus on postcolonial literary studies comes as a surprise, with the visual arts, film, and music being somewhat underrepresented, as are culture, politics and ocial history, anthropology, and economics. Even so, with almost one hundred collaborators from around the globe, Hawley indeed creates a unique "Forum for international voices" and represents well the considerably widened geographical and cultural scope of postcolonial studies.
