Journal of Postcolonial Writing (JPW)

The Journal of Postcolonial Writing is an academic journal devoted to the study of literary and cultural texts produced in various postcolonial locations around the world. It explores the interface between postcolonial writing, postcolonial and related critical theories, and the economic, political and cultural forces that shape contemporary global developments. In addition to criticism focused on literary fiction, drama and poetry, we publish theoretically-informed articles on a variety of genres and media, including film, performance and other cultural practices, which address issues of relevance to postcolonial studies. In particular we seek to promote diasporic voices, as well as creative and critical texts from various national or global margins. The Journal of Postcolonial Writing also publishes Special issues with a particular thematic or regional focus Interviews with and profiles of postcolonial writers and theorists Reviews of critical studies of contemporary writing (please contact the Reviews Editor for commissioning details) Selections of creative writing: poetry and short prose fiction Archival material relevant to critical articles accepted for publication Our ambition is to foster a creative dialogue among theories and texts influenced by postcolonial preoccupations and debates, and a larger engagement of contemporary literary criticism with regional and local forces (ethnicities, alternative cultural practices, diffuse points of resistance etc). Our concern is thus not only with exploring contemporary forms of imperialism (political, financial, technological, ecological), but also – and especially – with promoting cultural texts and practices which successfully challenge these.
