    Description
    Thesis (M.A.)--Georgetown University, 2008.; Includes bibliographical references.

It explores the extra-textual phenomena responsible for bringing about designations of neo-postcoloniality, and demonstrates how On Beauty both is- and is not- emblematic of a new phase in postcolonialism.
