Abstract

Taking the pieces by Robert Young and Dipesh Chakrabarty as a starting point, this essay looks at certain problems in postcolonial literary history to do with representation, context and space. Various implications of the pieces by Young and Chakrabarty are assessed for how they might help us re-situate postcolonial studies.
