Launched as a personal website in 2002 (with the help of Audra and Mike of Karma CMS), this site has now developed into an academic resource for Dr. Masood Raja's students and all others interested in Postcolonial Studies. While some pages on this website are specifically meant for Raja's students, most other scholarly and academic content is available as an open resource to a global audience of scholars and students.
The Postcolonial Space is an open resource for all those interested in Postcolonial Studies. Please feel free to contact us with your suggestions or questions. If you are planning a conference, an edited volume, or a Journal Issue and would like to post your Call for Papers on this website, please use this Contact Form to submit your CFP, which will be posted on our Announcements page.
