Parallel Visions, Confluent Worlds
Autor Richard Mcguireen Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 ian 2017
Ireland's history is clearly different from that of the former colonies of the British West Indies. Richard McGuire takes this point into account, and in Parallel Visions, Confluent Worlds he investigates how extensively the Irish novel, particularly from the 1920s, expresses forms and themes recognized by many scholars and critics to be key postcolonial concerns in West Indian novels of the same period. The British West Indies serves as a strong suitable comparative case for examination, since it has such an established wealth of study in relation to its postcolonial dimensions. This book compares five pairings of Irish and Caribbean texts that explore issues such as evolving representations of "native" peoples, late-colonial anxiety, the subversive power of women in a patriarchal-imperialist society, migration and the experience of growing up amid anti-colonial violence.
