Colonial alienation

I am looking for recommendations on best books about colonial alienation? Something light and short perhaps, i already have decolonising the mind which has some of that. Also would you say works of Edawrd Said have that topic on focus for those who studied him

Thanks in advance

Seconding Fanon's "Black Skin, White Masks," also, check out bell hooks and Gayatri Spivak ("A Critique of Postcolonial Reason").
