Dear Charlie,
Here's an opinion piece that you'll surely find interesting in relation to Fasting Feasting and Sujata Bhatt (IGCSE program) and post-colonial writing in general (OIB program)

It's definitely food for thought.
I'll be very interested to get your and the students' views on it.
Best,
Mrs.C
