His engagement with postcolonial cultures informs his novels, such as Guerrillas and A Bend in the River. However, it is his documentaries (such as Among the Believers and Beyond Belief) and his works that combine actual and fictional histories and memories (Finding the Center, The Enigma of Arrival, and A Way in the World) that best exhibit a growing awareness of the complexities of cultural difference and the incompleteness anTrinidadiansForeign countriesHistory20th centuryTravelers' writingsHistory and criticismCultural pluralism in literatureIntercultural communication in literatureStrangers in literatureIslam in literatureIslamic countriesIn literaturePakistanIn literatureIranIn literatureTrinidadiansHistoryTravelers' writingsHistory and criticism.Cultural pluralism in literature.Intercultural communication in literature.Strangers in literature.Islam in literature.823/.914Barnouw Dagmar457344MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784577703321Naipaul's strangers3867989UNINA
