The Amateur: Self-Making and the Humanities in the Postcolony
Majumdar, Professor Saikat (Professor of English and Creative Writing, Ashoka University, India)
The institutionalization of a literary curriculum was part of the ideological enterprise of British rule in the colony. This book examines South-Asian, Caribbean, and African writers and public intellectuals for whom anti-colonial amateur criticism and discourse is the primary mode of thought, articulation and world-making.
