ABSTRACT
On February 18, 2011, editor Marguerite Waller met with noted colonial and postcolonial cinema studies scholar Priya Jaikumar of the School of Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California to discuss Professor Jaikumar’s thoughts about bringing postcolonialism and cinema together in the classroom. What emerges in the pages that follow is a profound appreciation of the pressures that postcolonial thought puts on pedagogy. Professor Jaikumar also demonstrates the fruitfulness of the complex interdisciplinarity that postcolonial cinema studies calls for. We offer this interview, then, not as an ending, but as a “postface” that looks outward toward the teachers and students who will carry on this rewarding project.
