The experience of colonization and the challenges of a post-colonial world have produced an explosion of new writing in English. 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. The Empire Writes Back 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. This book is brilliant not only for its incisive analysis, but for its accessibility for readers new to the field. Now with an additional chapter and an updated bibliography, The Empire Writes Back is essential for contemporary post-colonial studies.

To open up the development to the point that the four towers will occupy less than 50 per cent of the land parcel, [Sandy Wilson] said the trade-off is higher buildings, precipitating the request by Gillin and Homestead for amendments to the Official Plan and the zoning bylaw. The most contentious item raised by Wilson was word that the project will plant the faces of the most southerly buildings at least 86 metres (196 feet) from the shoreline, leaving a large parcel of waterfront land for public access. \"We understand that this part of the site is unstable and may have a very high level of toxic contamination. The level of pollution may be so high that Homestead does not want to build on it. Would the city have to pay for a clean-up if it purchased parkland? Some of our members have joked that they would sell the front half of their lawn to the city as long as the city promised to maintain it as park and grass,\" [Jeff Neil] quipped.
