Postcolonial Satire

Indian Fiction and the Reimagining of Menippean Satire

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book unseats magic realism as the dominant articulation of postcolonial resistance, by analyzing well-known postcolonial Indian authors of satire. Through the framework of Menippean satire, Postcolonial Satire argues that postcolonial literature can not only resist cultural and political influence, but establish new independent ideologies.
