Description

This Routledge academic work explores how animism-the belief in spiritual qualities of nonhuman matter-provides a lens for understanding trauma in postcolonial fiction from Nigeria and India. The book initiates crucial dialogue between contemporary trauma literatures of these two nations, examining how postcolonial societies grapple with psychological and environmental damage as decolonization recedes into history. As industrialisation accelerates and resource scarcity intensifies, the author demonstrates how animist frameworks reveal new dimensions of trauma that transcend traditional single-subject analysis. Drawing on literary theory and postcolonial criticism, this work reshapes how scholars read representations of suffering and healing in non-Western fiction, offering innovative interpretive strategies for understanding how communities experience and articulate trauma through spiritual and material relationships with their environments.

Key Features

Applies animist conceptual frameworks to analyse postcolonial trauma literature from Nigeria and India with scholarly depth.

Examines how resource scarcity and industrialisation generate contemporary trauma experiences in postcolonial nations.

Moves beyond single-subject analysis to explore collective and environmental dimensions of literary trauma representation.

Integrates literary theory and postcolonial criticism to develop new interpretive approaches for non-Western fiction.

Published by Routledge as part of the Contemporary Africa series for academic and scholarly audiences.
