Subject: Sociolinguistics: The Language of Postcolonial Literatures
Ismail S. Talib, National University of Singapore,
THE LANGUAGE OF POSTCOLONIAL LITERATURES: An Introduction
"This is the most comprehensive introduction to post-colonial language
use to date. A wide-ranging survey of the issues and conflicts
involved in this very contested field makes this book a very useful
resource for students and general readers." -Bill Ashcroft,
University of New South Wales, Australia
Drawing on a range of writers, including Jean Rhys, Derek Walcott,
Chinua Achebe, Salman Rushdie, Ngugi wa Thiong'o and Nuruddin Farah,
The Language of Postcolonial Literatures provides a comprehensive
introduction to some of the central features of language in a wide
variety of postcolonial texts. Ismail S. Talib illustrates how English
has been shaped by and had to contend with other languages in former
British colonies. Exploring literatures from a range of countries
including India, Nigeria, Canada, Australia, Scotland, Wales, Ireland
and the Caribbean, he shows how individuals retain their cultural and
national identity in the face of such changes. Language is the primary
concern in postcolonial literature, and postcolonial literature is
achieving canonical status, so this book is essential for all world
literature scholars and sociolinguists.
