Anna Bernard is Reader in Comparative Literature and English at King’s College London.
"Decolonizing Literature is the book we need today. Reminding
us of the transformative possibilities of politicized literary
criticism, Anna Bernard is continuing the legacy of Edward Said,
Barbara Harlow, and Benita Parry by helping us imagine ourselves
into different futures."
Anthony C. Alessandrini, Kingsborough Community College, City
University of New York
"A full and substantial introduction to the contentious topic of
'decolonizing' the English literary curriculum. Bernard’s account,
which is fully cognisant of the challenges of this project, is
lucid and accessible but never glib or shallow."
Priyamvada Gopal, University of Cambridge
