Colonialism and Cultural Identity: Crises of Tradition in the Anglophone Literatures of India, Africa, and the Caribbean

More about the book

The book provides a critical analysis of how colonized individuals engage with both metropolitan ideas and indigenous traditions, challenging conventional views on mimeticism and hybridity. It presents a clear theoretical framework for understanding postcolonial phenomena, applicable beyond literature. By examining major works from authors like Derek Walcott, Jean Rhys, and Chinua Achebe, the author enriches the reader's comprehension of cultural contexts and the complexities of postcolonial identity.
