Interventions: International Journal of Postcolonial Studies is a specialist peer-reviewed journal focusing on the following aspects of postcolonial research, theory and politics:

• The histories of imperialism and colonialism
• The role of culture (academic, literary and popular) in the operation of imperialism and in the formations of national resistance
• Liberation struggles, past and ongoing
• The role of religion and culture in new nationalisms
• The contemporary politics of identity; race and ethnicity; gender and sexuality
• The economics of neo-colonialism
• Diaspora and migrancy
• Indigenous fourth-world cultures
• The connections between colonialism and modernity, postcolonialism and postmodernism
• Questions of postcolonial literatures
• Languages and translation

The assumption guiding the editorial policy of Interventions: International Journal of Postcolonial Studies will be that a journal, while representing a disciplinary field, can also make effective interventions within it - interrogating, shaping and extending it without seeking to dictate.
