I'm sure you'll get a number of recommendations for primary sources, but I'll just throw in my two cents on some quality secondary sources introducing the field.
Postcolonialism: An Historical Introduction, by Robert Young is excellent for a broad overview that looks at postcolonialism from a long historical perspective and across geographical boundaries (not just the narrow theoretical flourishing of the 80s and 90s).
Postcolonial Theory: Contexts, Practices, Politics, by Bart Moore-Gilbert is the best introduction to the "trinity" of Bhabha, Said, and Spivak.
Colonialism/Postcolonialism, by Ania Loomba takes a good activist and materialist approach to the subject.
Postcolonial Theory: A Critical Introduction, by Leela Gandhi focuses, as its title indicates, on the theory boom of the 80s and 90s, offering a look at its strengths and weaknesses as they seemed from an insider at the time.
Would Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's Dictee count? We also watched Peppermint Candy in class once, I'm not sure if that would fit either, though.
I'm reading Postcolonialism: A Historical Introduction right now and have thought about posting excerpts here; there's tons of awesome paragraphs that can stand alone, which discuss history and describe theory and struggle and whatnot.
Online, nothing else springs to mind that specifically deals with postcolonialism, but I do see relevant articles on socialist/communist blogs and journals that I occaissonally look at.
