Imagining the Self in South Asian and African Literatures

More about the book

The exploration of selfhood in Anglophone literatures from British colonies in Africa and the subcontinent is central to this book. It analyzes works by eight authors across various historical periods, focusing on autobiographical writing, folk anthologies, postwar fabulism, and contemporary realism. By employing historical analysis, psychological inquiry, and postcolonial criticism, the text examines how globalization influences literary constructions of identity and the narrative strategies employed by these diverse writers.
