The (im)propriety of the term "postcolonial" is addressed frequently on the list. For now: "We use the term 'post-colonial'...to cover all
the culture affected by the imperial process from the moment of
colonization to the present day" (Bill Ashcroft, et al. The Empire Writes Back.
1989).
Postcolonial theory and criticism interrogates the relations between culture
and imperialism. It frequently is concerned with creating agency
for the marginalized and with recovering lost cultural histories.
Feminist questions are, of course, germane to this discussion. The
roles of
academia and the Internet in postcolonial power relations merit
discussion as well.

In addition, there are related "sister-lists," perhaps "il-legitimate"
still within the increasingly institutionalized academic traditions
of "postcolonial theory." These are the third-world-women list
and the sa-cyborgs list. See the spoon homepage forinformation,
