Colonialism and the culture of Empire

Settler Colonialism. To sort... Black Skin, White Masks - Frantz Fanon. Colonialism and Neocolonialism. The Colonizer and the Colonized - Albert Memmi. The Colonial Present: Afghanistan. Palestine. Iraq. Settler Colonialism in Palestine. Literature, Partition and the Nation-State. This study offers an extended study of the social and cultural legacies of state division in Ireland and Palestine. Focusing on the period since the 1960s, when the original partition settlements in each region were challenged by Irish and Palestinian nationalists, Joe Cleary's book contains individual chapters on nationalism and self-determination; on the construction of national literatures in the wake of state division; and on influential Irish, Israeli and Palestinian writers, film-makers and public intellectuals.

"Stylish and elegant. Cleary's book offers innovative and compelling analysis of the political, cultural and intellectual struggles that have issued from the colonial partitions of Ireland and Palestine. Working in the best traditions of postcolonial scholarship, Cleary locates the political and cultural struggles in Ireland and Palestine in a wide and mutually illuminating comparative context without scanting the specificity of individual situations.
