Summary | This course facilitates a critical engagement with the novel's role in decolonization struggles and in particular traces the politics of writing in English for an international range of novelists with regard to specific dynamics in Africa, South Asia, the Caribbean and ultimately contemporary Britain itself. The debilitations and enablements of writing in the language of one's supposed master will be considered. The course will also provide a theoretical analysis of key concepts in postcolonial criticism such as hybridity in gauging whether such positions are positive or negative conditions. This course is jointly taught with undergraduate students. |
