Experience and Acceptance of Postcolonial Literature in the High School English Class.
Goldblatt, Patricia F.
English Journal, v88 n2 p71-77 Nov 1998
Describes how a high school English teacher in Toronto took a class for gifted students called "Third World Literature" and reshaped it into a class on "Postcolonial Literature." Discusses students' initial resistance; describes the activities and projects by which students engaged with this literature; and notes their eventual enthusiasm for learning about others and finding themselves through this literature.
