( ) The book will change the way you read the old classics - if you are Asian or have been colonized. When I read, for instance, "Heart of Darkness," I did not think of it as a book with imperialist overtones. However, authors are products of their times. Edward Said has done many of us a favour by writing this excellent book, which provides us with a different view of the old books. He has included the recent imperialistic attitude of the American which, for instance, resulted in the Iraq War. The book is excellent. Read it with care. Read it after you finish "Orientalism." Both books demand patience. Said didn't break me but came very close. More than anything, I appreciated his continual return to the context and geography of colonialism and the way that this makes works of pro-colonialist texts, such as Camus, more interesting as sites of inquiry. Rejecting a dismissal Said calls on a contrapuntal reading that engages critically with texts that have been wrest from their context and universalized. The problems if the modern academy in chapter 4 left me feeling defeated as it still seems as if most critical studies have been neutered in their political efficacy.

Un lavoro di indagine letteraria e storica sulle complicit© della cultura con il progetto egemonico di vecchi e nuovi imperi, da Cuore di tenebra di Conrad a Mansfield Park della Austen, dall'Aida di Verdi a Lo straniero di Camus. Un'opera che intende spingere a rileggere i grandi capolavori della letteratura occidentale. Analizzando le opere di autori come Frantz Fanon, Aim©♭ C©♭saire, C.L.R. James e Salman Rushdie, l'autore indica la grande ricchezza della letteratura di resistenza che si oppose, e si oppone, al dominio imperiale. Emerge cos©Ơ la realt© di un mondo post-coloniale caratterizzato da culture ibride e interdipendenti. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
