Final Year Project

Project Title

Deconstruction of Post-Colonial Literature

Description

My research paper presents the interpretations of scholars who have derived or applied theories and concepts from, or onto Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children and Roy’s A God of Small Things. It is an analysis of their combined critiques with an emphasis on the way they address the topic of colonial subjection and the construction of the post-colonial subject, as represented in these texts. With that, I have proposed alternative, complementary or corroborative interpretations, which can supplement scholarly work, both theorization and conceptualization in post-colonial studies.
