The project examines texts by eight authors across the colonial, postwar and post-9/11 eras - Olaudah Equiano, Sake Dean Mahomet, Henry Callaway, R.C. Temple, Amos Tutuola, G.V. Desani, Tsitsi Dangarembga and Aravind Adiga - in order to map different strategies of selfhood across four fields of literature: autobiographical life writing, folk anthology, postwar fabulism, and contemporary realism. Drawing on historical analysis, psychological inquiry, comparative linguistics, postcolonial criticism and social theory, this book responds to a renewed emphasis on the narrative strategies and creative choices involved in a literary construction of the self. Threaded through this investigation is an analysis of the effects of globalization, or the intensification of intercultural and dialogic complexity over time." -- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a South Asian literature (English) $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a African literature (English) $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Self in literature. 650 0 $a Self (Philosophy) in literature. 650 7 $a African literature (English) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799849 650 7 $a Self in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01111462 650 7 $a Self (Philosophy) in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01111456 650 7 $a South Asian literature (English) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01127239 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9783031276057 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117012356.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DF84C26A6CB211EE935F82A422ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
