Although the detailed reading schedule/calendar will be given out on the first class session, students are encouraged to start reading the TWO LONG REQUIRED READINGS (Achebe's entire novel and, later, the first part of Rushdie's novel) as soon as possible. There are only a few copies of these novels in our UDC libraries, so we advise students to borrow or order them at their earliest convenience. |

We suggest students use Ashcroft, Griffiths and Tiffin's 2007 book (UDC call number L2-4120), for a general overview of postcolonial studies and its main concepts. For each unit, teachers will encourage students to read specific chapters or articles. |
