Ireland and post-colonial theory
Edited by Clare Carroll and Patricia King
Cork University Press, 2003
Postcolonial theory has recently emerged as one of the most
influential modes of socio-cultural analysis currently shaping
Irish studies. It is a school of thought inspired largely by the
work of Edward Said, Frantz Fanon, and Indian Subaltern Studies.
The ``post'' means ``since colonialism began'' rather than ``after
colonialism ended''.
