Insurgent Testimonies - Witnessing Colonial Trauma in Modern and Anglophone Literature (Hardcover)

During the second half of the nineteenth century and the first half
of the twentieth, insurgencies erupted in imperial states and
colonies around the world, including Britain's. As Nicole Rizzuto
shows, the writings of Ukrainian-born Joseph Conrad, Anglo-Irish
Rebecca West, Jamaicans H. G. de Lisser and V. S. Reid, and Kenyan
Ng gi wa Thiong'o testify to contested events in colonial modernity
in ways that question premises underlying approaches in trauma and
memory studies and invite us to reassess divisions and
classifications in literary studies that generate such categories
as modernist, colonial, postcolonial, national, and world
literatures. Departing from tenets of modernist studies and from
methods in the field of trauma and memory studies, Rizzuto contends
that acute as well as chronic disruptions to imperial and national
power and the legal and extra-legal responses they inspired shape
the formal practices of literatures from the modernist, colonial,
and postcolonial periods.
