Class discussions will seek to contextualize (and be contextualized by) a host of theoretical/cultural concepts deriving from postcolonial studies – like hybridity, mongrelization, migration, cosmopolitanism, national allegory– with which Rushdie’s work is associated or seen as exemplifying in particularly accurate and cogent ways.
