Classics in Post-Colonial Worlds (Paperback)
Series: Classical Presences

Classical material was traditionally used to express colonial
authority, but it was also appropriated by imperial subjects to
become first a means of challenging colonialism and then a rich
field for creating cultural identities that blend the old and the
new. Nobel prize-winners such as Derek Walcott and Seamus Heaney
have rewritten classical material in their own cultural idioms
while public sculpture in southern Africa draws on Greek and Roman
motifs to represent histories of African resistance and liberation.
These developments are explored in this collection of essays by
international scholars, who debate the relationship between the
culture of Greece and Rome and the changes that have followed the
end of colonial empires.
