Eagleton has published over forty books, but remains best known for Literary Theory: An Introduction, which has sold over 750,000 copies. (From Wikipedia) What is Postcolonialism: Since I claim to be a postcolonialism scholar, I think it is apt to include a brief description of my field of study. In my view, Postcolonialism ( also written as Post Colonialism or Post-Colonialism) is a dynamic field of literary study that focuses on the history of colonialism and native responses to the colonial policies and life after colonialism formally ends. The field of postcolonialism also offers insights into the literature and culture of the the former European colonies and their struggles after the end of colonialism. ---- ------------------------- My Website: http://postcolonial.net My Recording Gear: Camera (Logitech C922): https://amzn.to/2Ko6syK Mic (Blue Yeti USB Mic): https://amzn.to/2QjVfmT Lights (Selfie Ring): https://amzn.to/2XbOSDu Computer (Apple iMac): https://amzn.to/2TFKcWH ------------------------------ Donate to help us continue offering free educational content: https://streamlabs.com/rajam6 ---------------------------- Please Subscribe to this channel:    / @masoodraja   ----------------------------- Disclosure: Postcolonial Space sometimes displays merchant affiliate links in the video descriptions.
