Namrata reviews Postcolonialism Now by Sourit Bhattacharya and Sumit Chakrabarti (Orient Blackswan 2025) observing it as a call to action, for readers, critics, and educators to engage literature as a site for decolonial possibility and global solidarity
Postcolonialism Now: Literature, Reading, Decolonising (Orient Blackswan, 2025) co-authored by Sourit Bhattacharya and Sumit Chakrabarti, is a timely and ambitious contribution to contemporary literary and cultural theory. Positioned at the intersection of postcolonial critique and decolonial practice, the book offers a refreshing and rigorously argued methodological intervention into how we read literature and culture in a world still profoundly shaped by the legacies of colonialism and imperialism.
