Description

Postcolonial Life-Writing offers a comprehensive critique of this rapidly expanding field of cultural production, examining how autobiographical and biographical narratives function within postcolonial contexts. Bart Moore-Gilbert analyses the distinctive characteristics that differentiate postcolonial life-writing from its western counterparts, with particular attention to writing styles and narrative conceptions of the self. This book uncovers a parallel tradition of auto/biographical writing and reveals its cultural and political significance. Through original and provocative analysis, it demonstrates how postcolonial authors use life-writing as a tool for self-representation and cultural reclamation. The study bridges postcolonial literary theory with biographical practice, making it essential reading for scholars of postcolonial literatures, autobiography studies, and contemporary cultural criticism.

Key Features

Postcolonial Life-Writing by Bart Moore-Gilbert provides the first sustained critique of postcolonial autobiography and biographical writing as a cultural field.

Moore-Gilbert compares postcolonial life-writing traditions with western autobiographical practices to identify distinctive generic characteristics.

The book examines writing styles and narrative conceptions of the self specific to postcolonial contexts and identity formation.

Published by Routledge in their Research in Postcolonial Literatures series, this work combines literary theory with historical analysis of life-writing practices.

This study analyses the cultural and political significance of auto/biographical writing in postcolonial literature and identity representation.
