This diverse and powerful body of literature has established a specific practice of post-colonial writing in cultures as various as India, Australia, the West Indies and Canada, and has challenged both the traditional canon and dominant ideas of literature and culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Empire Writes Back\u003c\/em\u003e was the first major theoretical account of a wide range of post-colonial texts and their relation to the larger issues of post-colonial culture, and remains one of the most significant works published in this field. The authors, three leading figures in post-colonial studies, open up debates about the interrelationships of post-colonial literatures, investigate the powerful forces acting on language in the post-colonial text, and show how these texts constitute a radical critique of Eurocentric notions of literature and language. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is brilliant not only for its incisive analysis, but for its accessibility for readers new to the field.
