To arrange these key postcolonial works in chronological order, we can look at their respective publication years:
1. C. Black Skin, White Masks by Frantz Fanon was first published in 1952. This foundational text analyzes the psychological effects of colonization on Black people.
2. A. Orientalism by Edward Said was published in 1978. This book is widely considered to have established the academic field of postcolonial studies.
3. D. Decolonising the Mind by Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o was published in 1986. It explores the relationship between language, culture, and colonial domination.
4. B. Nation and Narration, edited by Homi K. Bhabha, was published in 1990. It presents a compilation of essays discussing how nationhood is constructed through narratives.
5. E. The Location of Culture by Homi K. Bhabha was published in 1994. It explores the concepts of cultural hybridity, mimicry, and liminality in postcolonial theory.

Arranging the publication years chronologically:
1952 (C) → 1978 (A) → 1986 (D) → 1990 (B) → 1994 (E)

Therefore, the correct sequence is C, A, D, B, E.
