He examines the work of two influential theorists of identity, Judith Butler and Homi Bhabha, and presents a revised evaluation of the important Nigerian critics, Chinweizu, Jemie, and Madubuike. In the process, he presents a novel theory of literary identity based equally on recent work in cognitive science and culture studies. This theory argues that literary and cultural traditions, like languages, are entirely personal and only appear to be a matter of groups due to our assertions of categorical identity, which are ultimately both false and dangerous.Commonwealth literature (English)History and criticismEnglish literature20th centuryHistory and criticismPostcolonialismEnglish-speaking countriesInfluence (Literary, artistic, etc.)Imperialism in literatureColonies in literatureCommonwealth literature (English)History and criticism.English literatureHistory and criticism.PostcolonialismInfluence (Literary, artistic, etc.)Imperialism in literature.Colonies in literature.820.9/9171241Hogan Patrick Colm532285MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910970407003321Empire and poetic voice4364645UNINA
