The author considers the ethical responsibility of the postcolonial intellectual, enhancing our understanding of this topic through the concept of custodianship, which may be defined as a responsibility towards the other in forms of cultural and literary inheritance. The author introduces custodianship as a central theme and a vital question for the committed intellectual today, proposing original interpretations of major postcolonial texts by key figures including Anita Desai, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Mahasweta Devi and Arundhati Roy. Through close reading and historical analysis, Postcolonial Custodianship reveals that a practice of custodianship has always been an essential element of these writers' ethical engagement, yet in a way that has never been explored. The author contends that the question of custodianship should not be seen as a merely negative designation; it is by redefining the very meaning of custodianship that the ethical dimension of postcolonialism can be rediscovered"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Indic literature (English) $y 20th century $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008104412 650 0 $a Postcolonialism in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002010213 650 0 $a Postcolonialism $z India. 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Englisch. $0 (DE-588)4014777-0 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Literatur. $0 (DE-588)4035964-5 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Postkolonialismus. $0 (DE-588)4566658-1 $2 gnd 651 7 $a Indien. $0 (DE-588)4026722-2 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Indic literature (English) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00970156 650 7 $a Postcolonialism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01073032 650 7 $a Postcolonialism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01073035 651 7 $a India. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 648 7 $a 1900 - 1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 830 0 $a Routledge research in postcolonial literatures ; $v 50. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n97088702 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180110022636.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=792F8406F5D411E7B33F7C0497128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
