On the first class session, students will receive a detailed Syllabus of the course where they will find the exact dates a given topic, author, or work will be dealt with. Teachers recommend students to start reading the novels (Achebe, Aidoo, Darko, and Dangarembga) before the course starts. There are only a few copies of the novels in our UDC libraries, thus, when possible, we suggest students to order them via on-line publishing houses. |

We suggest students to use Ashcroft, Griffiths e Tiffin (2007), (UDC) L2-4120, for a general overview of postcolonial studies as well as to get familiarized with specific terms. For each topic, author or work, teaches will encourage students to read recommended readings of chapters or articles in magazines. |
