Predicated upon the opposition of writing back and reading forward,
the author challenges some of the established concerns or
preoccupations of the field. Postcolonial theory, framed by several
binary assumptions, e.g. the dichotomy of coloniser/colonised,
perpetrator/victim, powerful/powerless, has frequently led to a
partial vision regarding postcolonial subjects as well as
literatures. By submitting six selected novels from India, South
Africa and the Caribbean to contrastive readings, the book maps out
the scope of literary interpretation, also and in particular in a
postcolonial context. More than simply providing a deeper and more
comprehensive understanding of each text, this study challenges
both the benefits and limits of the postcolonial as a critical
theoretical approach.
