Exploring a wide range of themes including the appropriation and use of language, myths of decolonialization and nationalism and the colonial influence on systems of academic knowledge, the book focuses on how these myths reinforce, subvert and appropriate colonial binaries for the articulation of the post-colonial self. With essays which study narratives of emigrants in Argentina, the colonial mythology in the Dodecanese in Italy, and the mythico-narratives of island insularity in contemporary Sri Lanka among others, this volume emphasizes the role of indigenous studies in building a postcolonial consciousness.This book will be of interest to scholars and researchers of post-colonial studies, cultural studies, literature, history, political science and sociology.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
