- Examines Frantz Fanon’s materialist approach to the self
- Considers the representation of subjectivity in post-independence novels and films
- Offers interdisciplinary analyses that bridge postcolonial literary studies and film studies
The decades following the independences from colonialism saw a pioneering generation of realist novels and films emerge across Africa and South Asia. They told stories of people living through national circumstances fast diverging from the promises of decolonisation.
Subjectivity and Decolonisation in the Post-Independence Novel and Film explores how post-independence texts critique their own political conditions by choosing to narrate a different, but related, problem – that which Ngugi wa Thiong’o once called ‘decolonising the mind’. Guided by the psycho-political thought of Frantz Fanon, who maps a dialectical relationship between decolonisation and the self, this book considers how eight well known and less studied works from the 1950s–1980s. Together, they help us understand how the transformation of subjectivities is a materially consequential process that sits squarely within the broader, unfinished project that is decolonisation.
