Produktbeschreibung
This book is an academic study of the representations of the non-Westerners in general and the Muslims in particular in the whole fiction and non-fiction of Naipaul. He himself is undeniably a mix of both worlds. This includes his representations of his Trinidadian and Indian countrymen in a separate chapter. Then his representations of post-colonial Africa is also discussed in detail. The most important of all is his preconceived ideas and the stereotypes he employed in his non-fiction works on the kind of 'Islam' he has seen in his travels to four non-Arab Islamic countries. These travels include Iran, Pakistan, Malaysia and Indonesia. Naipaul over-emphasized the clearly endless problems in post-colonial non-Western parts of the world. He, implicitly or even explicitly, offered either neocolonialism or escape as possible solutions for Easterners.
