Know about the book -

Against the Postcolonial is written by Richard Serrano and published by Lexington Books. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0739120298 (ISBN 10) and 9780739120293 (ISBN 13).

Against the Postcolonial is at once a study of five writers from lands formerly or currently ruled by France (Algeria, Cambodia, Guiana, Madagascar, and Mali) and an interrogation of the relevance of postcolonial theory, criticism and studies to these writers. The authors are necessarily placed against the background of postcolonial studies, but since they have radically different backgrounds, histories, and careers, Serrano argues against the relevance of a homogenizing critical practice most interested in replicating itself.
