General:

• Postcolonial Studies Page (Deepika Bahri, Emory University). This excellent site includes pages devoted to individual authors, theorists, and "key terms" in postcolonial studies.
• Postcolonial and Postimperial Literature (George Landow, National University of Singapore). An ambitious site under constant construction.
• Internet Resources in Anglophone Literatures (Alan Liu, Voice of the Shuttle, UCSB). An exhaustive list of links pertaining to literatures in English from countries other than the U.S. and the U.K.
• Internet Resources in Postcolonial Studies.  Also from Voice of the Shuttle.  
• Eyal Press, "Neocon Man" (The Nation 10 May 2004). A profile of Daniel Pipes, influential right-wing pundit and founder of "Campus Watch," which targets scholars (especially postcolonialists and critics of U.S. and/or Israeli foreign policy) it considers "anti-American."

Imperialism, Colonialism and Resistance (British, American & European):

• "The British Empire" (David Cody, The Victorian Web, National U of Singapore). See esp. "The British Empire: An Introduction."
• The British Empire: an Internet Gateway (Jane Samson, U of Alberta).  A collection of links.
• Two units of Norton's Topics Online: Victorian Imperialism and From Imperialism to Postcolonialism: Perspectives on the British Empire. Be sure to check out the various pull-down menus in the sidebars.
• The Imperial Archive (Leon Litvack, Queens University of Belfast)
• Elizabeth Heath, "Colonial Rule" (Africana.com)
• Fred Cooper, "Decolonization in Africa: An Interpretation" (Africana.com)
• Anti-Imperialism in the United States, 1898-1935 (Jim Zwick, Syracuse University).  A truly splended site, painstakingly assembled and well maintained.  "These pages introduce the first organizations formed to oppose U.S. territorial and economic imperialism and make available ...a large collection of anti-imperialist literature. Much of it was written by authors whose works are still appreciated and studied today but whose roles in the anti-imperialist movement are not widely known. Other literary responses, like the numerous newspaper and magazine verses written in response to Rudyard Kipling's "The White Man's Burden," are restored here from near-total obscurity.  These writings...represent part of the important cultural response to imperialism."

• Mike Davis, "Planet of Slums" (New Left Review 26 [March-April 2004]): Structural adjustment programs are among the primary forces creating miserable megalopolises throughout the "developing" world, while various strains of religious fundamentalism provide the only viable ideology of resistance for their inhabitants.

• Daphne Eviatar, "Africa's Oil Tycoons" (The Nation 12 April 2004): Many of you will already be familiar with Royal Dutch Shell's skulduggery among the Ogoni of southeastern Nigeria; here's a report on Chevron's current shenanigans in Angola.

In response to such discrepancies, Dr. Arno Peters created a new world map that dramatically improves the accuracy of how we see the Earth.
