Book Chapter
R
2015
Overview
This chapter presents commonly used terms in the study of postcolonialism. The terms listed begin with the alphabet “R”. Detailed explanation is provided for several terms, including race, refugee and reverse colonization. Each entry includes the origin of the term; a detailed explanation of its perceived meaning; and examples of the term's use in literary‐cultural texts. Postcolonialism as a mode of interpretation tracks race and its cognates, racial difference and racism, as an organizing principle of literary texts and history‐writing but, more than anything else, of colonialism. Race theory was responsible for the generation of endless stereotypes, where these stereotypes then perpetuated themselves and furthered race theory in a kind of vicious colonial cycle. The refugee is also constructed as a category in opposition to the citizen. Reverse colonization as a process was anticipated in the writings of several English poets.
