Subaltern Ethics in Contemporary Scottish and Irish Literature

By merging Emmanuel Levinas' ethical framework with the concept of the 'subaltern,' this work offers a fresh Irish-Scottish postcolonial perspective. It examines contemporary fiction from Scotland and Ireland, revealing how these narratives respond to the recent political changes in both regions. The book emphasizes the interplay between literature and socio-cultural dynamics, providing insights into the complexities of identity and statehood in a postcolonial context.
