Review # 1 was written on 2008-03-07 00:00:00 Kevin Lansing In his book, Bill Ashcroft gives us a revolutionary view of the ways in which postcolonial societies have responded to colonial control. This book investigates the transformative effects of postcolonial resistance and its continuing relevance of the colonial struggle. By supporting his arguments such as the production of sugar plantations in the Caribbean islands to using the famous Prospero and Caliban binary from The Tempest, the book shows remarkable capacity for change and adaptation emanating from postcolonial cultures both in daily life and within the intellectual spheres of literature, history and philosophy. The transformations of postcolonial literary studies have just not been confined to a simple rewriting or rereading exercise of the canon but have also affected the ways in which literature can be read and have led to a more profound understanding of the network of cultural practices which deeply influences creative writing. "On Postcolonial Futures", therefore, breaks new theoretical ground while demonstrating the relevance of a wide range of practices by extending the exploration of topics which are fundamentally important to the field of postcolonial studies.
