Those who say that this is a racist and pro-colonialist novella don't know anything about how to read fiction. Conrad's masterpiece is a must-read for every literature person.
A very easy to read introduction to cultural criticism book. Some might find the language distracting sometimes, as the book sometimes makes use of weird and politically incorrect (in my opinion) examples. But still, it's quite good reading for a start.

A Chicana coming-of-age prose fiction example. A very interesting book both content and form-wise.
