Some of the debates around counter‐hegemonic strategies employed in postcolonial fictional discourses, are used to explore how the “unspeakable” experiences of marginalized people are translated into “speakable” texts. The purpose of a comparative study of texts from North America, New Zealand and South Africa is to “connect” attempts to textualize suppressed histories in different postcolonial contexts ‐ with a special emphasis on minorities within these countries and the discursive production of “post‐essentialist” identities. It is argued that reading these works through attempts to theorize “Third World” literature provides a useful method to circumvent the pitfalls of reproducing imperialist practice such as associated with European postmodernism
