        Welcome
The Online Bibliographies of Postcolonial Writers, maintained by the research unit CEREP at the University of Liège, Belgium, are meant as dynamic documents; additions are incorporated as they come in. We would like to encourage readers and scholars from all over the world to contribute items – from printed documents, from Internet sites or from other sources – by sending them to the editors of the bibliographies. Please state your sources with each item or, better still, send us the document whenever possible.
