Southern Postcolonialisms is an anthology of critical essays on new literary representations from the Global South that seeks to re-invent/reorient the ideological, disciplinary, aesthetic, and pedagogical thrust of Postcolonial Studies in accordance with the new and shifting politico-economic realities/transactions between the North and the South, as well as within the Global South, in an era of globalization. Since the emergence of Postcolonial Theory in the 1980s, the shape of the world has changed dramatically. Old Cold War boundaries have shifted in the wake of the collapse of communism, Globalization, on an unprecedented scale, has dramatically changed the meaning of time and space. The rise of the US as a new imperial power has profound implications for the world order. In the South, new emerging markets have challenged the older division of industrial ‘first world’ and non-industrial ‘third world’. In most parts of the world, the academy is struggling to keep up with these developments. One result has been a major transnational turn in the humanities and social sciences. Terms like ‘world history’, ‘globalization’, ‘glocalization’ and ‘transnationalism’ now dominate academic agendas worldwide. These changing circumstances raise far-reaching questions. What does the new emerging world order mean for established models of postcolonial theory? Is postcolonialism as a field of study being overtaken by models of globalization and transnationalism? What implications do the new configurations in the South have for postcolonial theory? This volume, drawn from a major literary conference at Delhi University, provides a set of perspectives on these questions. With a majority of contributions by scholars from the South, these research articles have a dual focus – they revisit older debates on postcolonial theory, while suggesting new perspectives and directions.

The end of the European empires undoubtedly stands as the major transformation of the twentieth-century world. Most mo-mentous, perhaps, was that of the British empire, which had combined the largest area of direct rule with the greatest sphere of informal power. Reflecting on the vivid controversies about the nature, causes, pace and extent of British decolonisation, this study analyses the long history of the end of the British empire, from the Treaty of Versailles to the Sino-British Treaty for the handover of Hong Kong. Beyond the high tide of independences, late ends of empire and remaining colonial outposts are crucial to understand the dynamics of British decolonisation, as are the early transformations of the white Commonwealth and the multiple forms of anti-colonial protest across the interwar empire. The history of British decolonisation is one of crossroads and encounters-theoretical, historical and geographical. It is about individual men and women across societies, international relations and transnational networks, structural changes and constraints, negotiations, repression and armed conflicts, and the (re)definition of the nation in the domestic and international spheres. From India to Belize, Vanuatu to Zimbabwe, Malaya to Britain itself, the study of decolonisation demonstrates the achievements, limits and ambiguities of colonial liberation in the twentieth century.
