Description

This Routledge introduction examines how English language evolved across postcolonial texts written by major authors including Jean Rhys, Derek Walcott, Chinua Achebe, Ngugi wa Thiong'o, Nuruddin Farah and Salman Rushdie. The book explores literatures from India, Nigeria, Canada, Australia, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and the Caribbean, demonstrating how English has been shaped by and contended with other languages in former British colonies. Through detailed analysis of diverse postcolonial writers, this text reveals how individuals retain cultural identity and linguistic heritage whilst engaging with colonial language systems. Essential reading for students of postcolonial studies, comparative literature and language in culture.
