Postcolonial Literature and Challenges for the New Millennium
Editat de Lucienne Loh, Malcolm Senen Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 ian 2018
Colonial legacies, especially in terms of structuring exploitative capitalist relations between countries and regions are shown to persist in postcolonial nations in the form of ‘global civil wars’ and systemic environmental waste. Chinese authoritarianism and the Indian picturesque represent less familiar forms of neo-colonialism. These essays not only engage with established writers such as Salman Rushdie and Anita Desai; they also critically reflect on work by Nadeem Aslam, Mai Couto, Romesh Gunesekara, Bei Dao and Ma Jian.
This book was originally published as a special issue of Textual Practice.
