Writing Sri Lanka

Literature, Resistance & the Politics of Place

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Focusing on ways in which cultural nationalism has influenced both the production and critical reception of texts, Salgado presents a detailed analysis of eight leading Sri Lankan writers - Michael Ondaatje, Romesh Gunasekera, Shyam Selvadurai, A. Sivanandan, Jean Arasanayagam, Carl Muller, James Goonewardene and Punyakante Wijenaike a " to rigorously challenge the theoretical, cultural and political assumptions that pit a insidera (TM) against a outsidera (TM), a residenta (TM) against a migranta (TM) and the a authentica (TM) against the a aliena (TM). By interrogating the discourses of territoriality and boundary marking that have come into prominence since the start of the civil war, Salgado works to define a more nuanced and sensitive critical framework that actively reclaims marginalized voices and draws upon recent studies in migration and the diaspora to reconfigure the Sri Lankan critical terrain.
