This is a close textual analysis of Rushdie's five major novels:
Midnight's Children, Shame, The Satanic Verses, Haroun and the Sea
of Stories, and The Moor's Last Sigh. Rushdie recognizes that
practicing identity politics leads to nativism and nationalism,
categories he rejects because they merely invert the
colonizer/colonized binary, leaving violent hierarchies intact. His
impulse is to deconstruct the colonizer/colonized binary and in
doing so to clear a 'new' postmodern space. This text employs
post-structuralist/ postmodern theory not only to address the
issues of representation that Rushdie raises in his major political
novels, but also to facilitate a discussion of the manner in which
he pushes the boundaries of the modern novel.
