He has quite a gift for distilling often highly specialized research into terms where its relevance to nonspecialists can readily be discerned. He also deftly interconnects multiple lines of interdisciplinary scholarship. Mastery of subject, accessibility, and sensible argument are admirably merged. It is hard to imagine anyone working in any of the three primary fields engaged here who would not enjoy and benefit from this work.”-Donald R.

These structures recur because they derive from important emotion-motivation systems governing human social interaction, such as group pride and shame.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eColonialism and Literature\u003c\/i\u003e Hogan extends this work to argue that these genres play a prominent role in the fashioning of postcolonization literature-literature encompassing both the colonial and postcolonial periods. Crucially, colonizers and colonized people commonly understand and explain their situation in terms of these narrative structures. In other words, the stories we tell to some degree simply reflect the facts. But we also tend to interpret our condition in terms of genre, with the genre guiding us about what to record and how to evaluate it. Hogan explores these consequential processes in theoretical and literary analysis, presenting extended, culturally and historically specified interpretations of works by PÁdraic Pearse (Ireland), Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o (Kenya), Yasujiro Ozu (Japan), J. M. Coetzee (South Africa), Margaret Atwood (Canada), Rabindranath Tagore (India), Abderrahmane Sissako (Mali), and Dinabandhu Mitra (India).\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: Imperialism and Its Stories\u003cbr\u003e 1.
