Annotated Bibliography Postcolonial/Decolonial Texts 1952-2020

Abstract

The creation of this systematic bibliography of postcolonial and decolonial texts was supported generously by the department for gender equality and diversity (Likestillings- og mangfoldsutvalget) at UiT The Arctic University of Norway in 2020. The overarching project aimed at analyzing power relations in the classroom of a university in Sápmi. The bibliography provides a rough chronological overview of the postcolonial and decolonial literature that existed at the time. Many important writings are missing. Also, the bibliographical work was not continued systematically; the rapidly growing field of decolonial and postcolonial scholarship is therefore not represented approximately. Nothing is original about it; the bibliography merely gathers often-cited texts and uses the publishers’ short descriptions to invite readers new to the topic to dive into the original texts. Nevertheless, we hope that the collection can help orient those who question colonial power structures and dedicate their thinking, teaching and research activity to fight them and to inspire others to do so as well. Many thanks to Julia Wong and Oda Nigist Wigstøl for their intensive work on this document. Romsa/Tromsø, summer 2024
