[ecrea] New journal special issue on "Postcolonial Perspectives in Game Studies"

We are happy to formally announce the launch of *our journal special 
issue ' 
<https://olh.openlibhums.org/collections/special/postcolonial-perspectives-in-game-studies/>Postcolonial 
Perspectives in Game Studies' 
<https://olh.openlibhums.org/collections/special/postcolonial-perspectives-in-game-studies/>***in 
the */Open Library of Humanities/, 4(2).* Some of the articles have 
already been available online as per the/OLH/ policy. All articles are 
open-access and are available free of cost under the OLH Creative 
Commonslicence <https://olh.openlibhums.org/articles/10.16995/olh.216/>. 
The special issue was planned specifically to be made accessible to 
readers all over the world, especially those in third-world countries 
who are without access to pay-walled journals.

Postcolonial Studies has only recently started  receiving its deserved  
videogames research  and this special issue is a response to the 
versatility of the recent scholarship on the topic. Our introductory 
article explains the rationale behind the journal in detail:

Mukherjee, S. and Hammar, E.L., 2018. Introduction to the Special Issue 
on Postcolonial Perspectives in Game Studies. /Open Library of 
Humanities/, 4(2), p.33. DOI:***http://doi.org/10.16995/olh.309**. *The 
full table of contents with links to each article is attached below.

The special issue features contributions by eminent researchers in the 
area on the debate(s) relating to (post)coloniality, orientalism, empire 
and other related topics forward in future. We will be immensely 
grateful to have your feedback and suggestions for any future iteration 
of the special issue that we might plan. We also request you to 
circulate the link to the journal among your friends, colleagues and 
anyone who might be interested in the articles. You could use the
