It is quite impossible to imagine the contemporary field of literary and cultural studies without postcolonial theory. Equally impossible is to think of postcolonial literary and cultural studies without acknowledging the impact of one book, namely The Empire Writes Back (1989) by Bill Ashcroft, Gareth Griffith and Helen Tiffin. The conference "After Writing Back: Present and Future Perspectives in Postcolonial Studies" celebrated the twentieth anniversary of Ashcroft, Griffith and Tiffin’s magnum opus and took it as an opportunity to contemplate the various directions in which postcolonial theory can go from here and now.
