Colonial Literature and the Native Author

Meer over het boek

Exploring the intersection of Victorian literary conventions and indigenous identity, this study examines writers who navigate both worlds. It delves into the complexities faced by colonized individuals who adopt the literary language of the empire, questioning whether they create a distinct narrative or conform to colonial models. By analyzing the duality of their experiences, the book reveals how indigenous authors transform colonial literature and challenge traditional representations of the 'native' subject.
