Post-Colonial Writers Unit

How do cultural and historical background impact thought? To explore this essential question, class members view of portion of the film, The Passage to India, read an excerpt from The Magician’s Nephew, and Nissim Ezekiel’s poem, "In India." These materials offer differing points of view of the same historical force - the British colonization of India. The richly detailed unit includes discussion questions, a rubric, and an annotated bibliography.
