Challenging the Episteme with Storytelling

Tearing into the Web of Lies
Twentieth century has witnessed the development of native literature across the world. These literatures are an important endeavor on the part of natives to construct their identity. Constructed identity is important for them because the colonial narratives have maligned their identity and colonial policies have systematically obliterated their culture and history. The maligned identities and obliteration of culture have played havoc with the liv…
Creating an Alternate Canon
Chigozie Obioma is a novelist of Nigerian origin who has published two novels so far. He has been hailed as an ‘heir to Chinua Achebe’ the master African novelist. The comparison of Obioma with Achebe is obvious because both of them belong to the same tribe, but what is more important is that Obioma seems to carry from the point where Achebe left. In his debut novel The Fishermen, Obioma foregrounds the problems that plague postcolonial Nigeria. …
Perpetrator Plays the Victim

To rightfully and legally take that did not belong to the White …

In their world they were not the masters of the animate and inanimate world, rather they were a part of it. This world view did not conform with the culture of Europe, so they started denigrating them; but the reasons behind denigration of the Natives were deeper as exposed by the narratives of the Native Americans. …
The Prodigal Sons of Africa Proselytized to Christianity
In the postcolonial world the literary writers and postcolonial theorists have made immense contributions to piercing through the veil of the policies of colonialism. While the theories of the theorists written by Colonialism remain and are read and understood by a privileged few, literature is read by people across all the cultures and nationalities. Chinua Achebe is one of the most important name among such writers who have contributed immensel…
U.R. Ananthamurthy’s Crusade against Caste
Caste system is a reality in India and the discrimination based on caste is probably the most horrifying truth. Many studies have been conducted on the psychological impact of untouchability on the Shudras, but U.R. Anathamurthy's writings concentrate more on the impact of practising untouchability on the Brahmins. His novels and short stories showcase the impact of practising untouchability on the Brahmins. Brahmins live lives of automatons wher…
