Drawing from critical time and postcolonial studies alike, this book argues that the temporality of waiting is an essential concept to theorise the relationship between time and power in postcolonial fiction across the long twentieth century - one that illuminates the contradictory temporalities that underlie narratives of progress, modernization and development. The book contributes to the resurgence of interest in time within literary studies by demonstrating that waiting is also integral to postcolonial temporalities, from anticolonial nationalist movements for independence to forms of reconciliation after conflict. In addition to innovative readings of both classic and contemporary postcolonial novels, this study challenges the dominant narrative of the twentieth century as a time of acceleration and movement by arguing for the centrality of waiting to time-consciousness in the postcolonial world."-- $c Publisher's website. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 215-231) and index. 650 0 $a Postcolonialism in literature. 650 0 $a Time in literature. 650 0 $a Waiting (Philosophy) in literature. 650 0 $a Imperialism in literature. 650 7 $a Imperialism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00968142 650 7 $a Postcolonialism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01073035 650 7 $a Time in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01151108 776 08 $i Electronic version: $a Lagji, Amanda. $t Postcolonial fiction and colonial time. $d Edinburgh : Edinburgh University Press, [2023] $w (OCoLC)1352968305 $z 9781474490238 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117030325.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F6DAFA243D8C11EE8AE814B62EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
