Publisher: Atlantic Publishers & Dist
ISBN: 9788171569939
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
Joyce Cary (1888-1957) Is A Forerunner Of Post-Colonial Thinking, Yet Remains A Critically Marginalised Political Writer In British Literature.This Book Focuses On Cary'S Representation Of The Complexity In Cultural Politics. Using Frantz Fanon'S Exposé Of The Mechanics Of Colonialism As A Tool, It Seeks To Establish Cary'S Credibility As A Political Writer.The Book Also Reiterates The Necessity For Rehistoricizing Cary'S Political Position By Examining His Novels Set In Africa, Ireland As Well As In England, Highlighting His Subtle Understanding Of The Dialectics Of Power And British Liberalism. The Expertise, With Which He Has Translated The Liberal Dilemma Into The Novel Form Cast In A Dialogic Manner, Is Also Of Equal Interest In The Post-Modern Context. What Distinguishes This Work From Many Others That Apply Theoretical Positions Mechanically Is The Disciplined Manner In Which Theoretical Premises Are Tested And Measured Against Cary'S Own Political And Social Attitudes.

Publisher: Foundation Books
ISBN: 9788175963122
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
With globalization, English has become an economic necessity and Indians have realized that they have the 'English advantage' over many other countries like China and Japan. India has shed its colonial complexes towards English and has come to terms with the language; Indians have separated the English language from the English.

Key issues discussed: - Are we indebted to the British for introducing English in India? - What was the role of English during India's struggle for freedom? - Has English united India? - Has English divided India into two - the English knowing classes who govern and the non-English knowing masses who are governed? - Will English ever become an Indian tongue spoken in the great Indian language bazaar? - What will be the future of major Indian languages in the wake of the English onslaught? Will it end in linguistic imperialism and cultural colonialism?

Publisher: Atlantic Publishers & Dist
ISBN: 9788126901661
Category : West Indies
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
V.S. Naipaul Has Claimed That All His Work Is Really One And He Has Been Writing One Big Book All These Years; Also, Considering The World He Has Stepped Into And The World He Has To Look At, He Cannot Be A Professional Novelist In The Old Sense. In Early Youth Naipaul Took Up The Vocation Of A Writer As His Religion And, Since The Beginning Five Decades Ago, Has Drawn On His Intensely Personal Experience Of An Uprooted Person Adrift In The World, His Experience Of The Two Worlds To None Of Which He Could Really Belong An Experience That Imparts The Authentic Voice To His Works Both Non-Fiction And Fiction Enriched By A Distinct Autobiographical Flavour. Naipaul Himself Is Split Into His Characters In Whom Are Manifested Subtle Shades Of His Emotions And Traits. He Is Accidental Man, Dangling Man, History Man And The Mimic Man All Rolled Into One. Naipaul Is Also One Of Literature S Great Travellers, And His Absorption Into The Experience Of Rootlessness, The Alienating Effects Of Colonial Past On Today S Postcolonial People Has Taken Him To Africa, South America, India And All Over The World Not In Search Of Roots But In Search Of Rootlessness, And Has Yielded A Rich Harvest Of Travelogues Which Are About Much More Than Travel.An Author Of A Large Number Of Fictional And Non-Fictional Works, Naipaul Continues To Surprise, Excite, Provoke And Move Readers At Every Turn Of His Literary Voyage. Naipaul Has Unseverable Emotional Bond With India Which Remains For Him An Area Of Pain, An Ache For Which One Has A Great Tenderness Yet From Which He Wishes To Separate Himself. The World Of V.S. Naipaul Is The World Of Two Worlds. The Present Volumes Of Papers On Naipaul, Led By Naipaul S Nobel Lecture, Offer Illuminating Perspectives And Interesting Explorations Into This Rich, Enigmatic, Sad, Hilarious And Fascinating World Of Naipaul.
