| Summary, etc | The contemporary creative literature in English is marked by an irresistible urge to look at its past and the surrounding realities from a changed perspective. The remnants of colonial rule include many a deepening wound which upset the sensitive artist to redefine the relationship between the empire arid the centre. In fact, the post-colonial space is the ongoing project of analysing and combating unequal power, structures. This volume, comprising sixteen perceptive essays, addresses itself to the multiple intricacies of the post-colonial resistance. This volume focuses on the diverse strategies of sixteen major Indian writers who have appropriated the post-colonial space to manifest their strong animus against the erstwhile hegemonic power and its assumptions. Divided in three sections general, author-based and text-based the essays provide marvelous critiques of some contemporary Indian classics like a suitable boy, a matter of time, and the great Indian novel. The contributors include senior English faculties with proven expertise in the third world literature. The volume opens up fresh vistas of critical enquiry and interpretation in respect of contemporary Indian literature in English. |
