Book excerpt: This dissertation examines colonial and post-colonial discourse in the works of Yom Sang-sop of Korea, of Chinua Achebe of Nigeria and of Salman Rushdie of Indian subcontinent. Since much of the critical attention on colonial discourse has been focused on western narratives, this study aims to shed a different light on the subject by approaching it from the perspectives of the colonized. The Introduction explains the term colonial discourse and provides theoretical, historical and cultural background to the three writers' worlds. Thus it aims to see the changes in colonial and post-colonial discourse along with these writers' responses to the representation of the Third World in western discourse. Chapter One explores the world of a Korean writer, Yom Sang-sop, in terms of colonial discourse by discussing his works written in the 1920s and early 1930s. These works (Mansejon, Samdae and other short stories) reflect contemporary Korean intellectuals' psychological topography as well as sociopolitical circumstances under Japanese Colonial Occupation. Chapter Two discusses Chinua Achebe. His works, though written in English, are widely considered as archetypes of modern African literary discourse due to his ingenious blending of African oral traditions with his English-language narrative in a western literary form. In the analysis of Things Fall Apart, No longer at Ease and Arrow of God, I focus on how Achebe presents the disintegration of traditional Igbo life as a consequence of European colonialism in Africa. Chapter Three presents the Indo-Pakistani experiences of post-colonial turmoil captured by Salman Rushdie. His Midnight's Children and Shame can be considered as sociopolitical satires about India and Pakistan after their independences as well as aesthetic experimental quests for achieving unity in form and content. Brief attention is also paid to his controversial The Satanic Verses. Rushdian visions are also filled with Indian elements and post-colonial western skepticism. In Conclusion, I mention the significance of these three writers' works as anti-colonial discourse. In the post-colonial era, the voices of the (formerly) colonized are "striking back" at powerful colonial discourses.

Book excerpt: "This book studies four novels by Chinua Achebe-Things Fall Apart, No Longer at Ease, Arrow of God, and A Man of People-so as to investigate how he has constructed his alternative discourse, a discourse which has been successful in providing a room where the colonized are given voices to speak and the reader has a chance to understand better their world and what they have confronted because of colonization. Since each novel focuses on a different colonial or postcolonial phase in Nigeria and Achebe has made use of different discursive strategies in each of them, it can be claimed that taking them as a tetralogy and studying them together can result in providing a vivid picture of Achebe's discourse and what his novels seek to mirror about the Nigerian hybrid identity and the colonized man's struggles in the way of dealing with 'otherness' and difference"--

This book was released on 2018-07-20 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Cultural Studies - Miscellaneous, Sultan Moulay Sliman University, language: English, abstract: Postcolonial Literature is generally concerned with the demystification of the repercussions of colonialism with regard to individuals, societies and cultures. Indeed, all of these culminate in the psychological implications colonialism has on colonial subjects. Besides, there has recently been a proliferating trend to evaluate the postcloniality of literary works in terms of their consistency vis-à-vis feminist and ecocritical issues as inextricably integral components of the postcolonial discourse. In this regard, this paper is concerned with assessing the degree of postcoloniality in Margaret Atwood's Surfacing, Anita Desai's Fire on the Mountain, and Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart by perusing their approaches to the colonial psychological traumas, their representation of women within postcolonial systems of patriarchy and their rendering of nature as a "colonial subject". This will be conducted through a meticulous analysis of the main protagonists' thought and behaviour patterns.

This book was released on 2018-11-21 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chinua Achebe’s novels have always been read as texts from an erstwhile colonised African nation, interpreted within the parameters suggested by postcolonial theorists. The confines of postcolonial readings have raised questions about when the ‘postcolonial’ period would end, so that writers would no longer need to ‘write back’ to the empire or ‘rewrite’ their histories. This work explores how Achebe’s novels articulate his knowledge of his own people and the manner in which he participates in the politics of representation. He critiques the postcolonial methodology, and seeks out, recovers and provides an alternative narrative of the postcolonial experience and its aftermath, even as he seems to be moving beyond it. Achebe’s narratives do not conform to the postcolonial constructs of history as telling (rather than recalling) and of nations in terms of states (rather than people). Achebe combines the techniques available to historians (documentation) with those of novelists (the imaginative re-creation of events) for his fictional evocation of the past. He emphasises both the African artists’ role in helping to create a more egalitarian society and that of the act of storytelling as a shaping force in people’s lives. As he negotiates between his narrative form and realistic subject matter, Achebe puts forward a powerful critique of colonisation and its aftermath. Achebe represents a canonical voice in the emerging discourse of writers struggling to break free from the clichéd world of anti-imperialism and decolonisation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does one read a foundational postcolonial writer in English with declared Indian subcontinent roots? This book looks at ways of reading, and uncovering and recovering meanings, in postcolonial writing in English through the works of Salman Rushdie. It uses textual criticism and applied literary theory to resurrect the underlying literary architecture of one of the world’s most controversial, celebrated and enigmatic authors. It sheds light upon key aspects of Rushdie’s craft and the literary influences that contribute to his celebrated hybridity. It analyses how Rushdie uses his exceptional mastery of European, Anglo-American, Indian, Arabic and Persian literary and cultural forms to cultivate a fresh register of English that expands Western literary traditions. It also investigates an archival modernism that characterizes the writings of Rushdie. Drawing on the hitherto unexplored Rushdie Emory Archive, this book will be essential reading for students of literature, especially South Asian writing, postcolonial studies, cultural studies, linguistics and history.
