Through theoretical essays and novels, we will examine the problems of definition and evaluation that attend our interpretation of works from the ‘Third World.’ We will consider whether or not: 1) ‘Third World’ or ‘Post-colonial’ are appropriate designations; 2) notions of ‘marginality,’ ‘difference,’ and ‘alterity,? so often deployed to characterize these works, are useful interpretive tools; 3) the perception that these works are always enactments of resistance against dominant ideologies is effective. Diversity, Post-1900.
