The Postcolonial Middle Ages
Edited by Jeffrey Jerome Cohen
The increased importance of minority and subjugated voices has led to a new interest in the effects of colonization and displacement on medieval culture. These essays examine the establishment of colony, empire, and nationalism in order to expose the mechanisms of oppression through which “aboriginal,” “native” or simply pre-existent cultures are displaced, eradicated or transformed.

Praise for this book
The volume is a very strong compilation, and indeed a useful guide to the richness of post-colonial enquiry. … The real strength of this book resides in the range and diversity of the topics it examines and the quality of many of the contributions.
